Be Real... Be a Child

Please, if you will,
for a moment could you strip down all the things you know,
act as a child with wonder and delight
and let these words inform your soul
where the true spirit of understanding begins.
Remove the distractions from around you,
close your eyes and open your mind,
relieve the blockage of societal half truth
and return for a moment to self:
Your pure self!
No easy feat to be sure
but with courage and a will as strong as steel
the explanation becomes plain.
Heed this attached warning;
Become comfortable with in your own skin,
life is not a dress rehearsal
and the sooner you realize this the better your life will be.
In the search for self you will begin to see apparent discrepancies
between the person you perceive and the person you really are.
Again,
strip down the emotional and intellectual barriers,
refuse to allow your perceived self to be your filter,
instead embrace your inner child.

The world becomes clear
when through self actualization you overcome the illusions of consumption,
the necessity for more.
The ambition of your new self reveals a new contract for being.
Signed, sealed and delivered
let your soul take flight through the management of distraction,
keep aware of those around you,
television, movies and radio, magazines and books,
never letting them act as the spiritual markdown that they so desire.
Realize fully that all those medium are filled with personnel whose only purpose includes the immediate sale, final, of all you truly are:

Be real.
Remain a child inside.
Ask questions,
find answers –
Live,
love,
BE!
