the dark side of the bright

I dont know you,
you don't exist..
you're the reflect of my fears,
I don't like your skin color,
your way of speaking,
you're a alien,
your dreams are not mine..
you're not able to love,
like a civilized..
I hate you because,
you have my appearance..
why are you colored?
why a gay ?
why someone else,
I can't understand..
why are you a poet ?
why a philosopher ?
a thinker ?
not a honest worker..
your difference,
like a dagger,
like a danger..
please mister other..
free me,
from the bonds of myself..

The tao principle, and Zen is to clear & empty the mind, maybe we have to fill up the brain with only the bright side, try to eliminate the dark side. Interesting write dear friend.bouquet teddybear bouquet

I say, let it be what it is
do your dishes clean your room. feed and water yourself as best you can...you can sharpen your mind against the intangible...but the knife only needs to cut tomato's....

journeys are good and fill us with understanding, of what we do not understand. sometimes a stroll in Natures reality is pleasing and calming at times.
I loved your poem of a chaotic mind.hug teddybear
