Band Wagons
Jumping on
the 'band wagon',
in my book,
leaves much
to be desired.
Large groups
and masses
such as
political parties
and social
causes
often require
that
one must
leave one's
own mind and
heart
behind.
I view
collective thought
clannish
and a
humanistic danger.
It is easy to
join causes
which ask you
to sign up
to dogma's...
releasing you
from true
contemplation.
I am reminded
in the Baha'i
Writings,
that one must
apprehend
the truth
through one's
own
investigation
and not
through the eyes
of others.
I find myself
at odds with
many causes
because I refuse
to relinquish
this spiritual right.
There are
those
who call me
brave
and
courageous
and those who
find reason
to call me a
traitor.
I am solitary
in my quest
to remain
liberated
from
classification
and life's
multi-peered
bucket
of
pseudo-pious offences.
I am solitary
here
to persevere,
to giving life
to what has
been proven
to be right.
To carry forward
the truths
that I've found
and to make
that
the whole
meaning
of my life.
