A cautionary tale and inspiring poem for the inner child

🪬

When you go to school
Be aware of ghouls
Who’ll lead you to ugly things

Dismantle your fright
And focus your sight
Seek out other queens and kings

Who know themselves
Who STAND UP to fear
Who resist spells
Whose eyes are so clear

Dodge the bull!
Your heart must be full
To see through feeble walls and thin veils

Unleash your badness
To expose the madness
Your fear is not Love, which never fails

Face it and fight it
Show faith, do not hide it
This tale is for you, please help write it

Few are born good
Few are born bad
Most are set somewhere between

Evade malevolence
Practice benevolence
Care will release your good genes

And hold space for lovely things
But I don’t mean cars, paintings, or rings
There are much lovelier things that are part of you

Yes, take care of lovely things
And when we bend Time
✨they’ll come back to bring
The return of concern and care you already knew

Dodge the bull!
Keep energy full
Obstruct those who seek to enslave
This game will end badly
If fools suffer gladly
Once grounded you’ll make a shock wave

When talking and reading
Make sure you’re perceiving
The facts from the ā€œfeelingsā€
Words have many meanings

Learn lessons that help you to grow, but say “no”
When others take you for a fool
There are too many people who think they know
And not enough people who do

Inhale, exhale
Notice details
At all times you must be aware
Of odious groups
Lest you step in poop
Protection comes when you’re in prayer

But pray to Ancestors, Higher Self, Inner Stand
These are not false vain “gods” created by man
In this world there’s sure quite a few

If those false gods are believed
Then those prayers become dis-eased
That’s that “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo”

Cuz first you’ll see wonderful things
And you will think you have wings
To glide past your problems, start anew

But soon you’ll feel painful stings
Difficulty they will bring
A whole host of struggles back to you

First “life” will be like a good song
But best believe that you’ll find
All the things that you’ll see go wrong
Will go wrong at the same time

You’ll be shackled by your feet in a game of chance
Cuz your praises were kidnapped in a demon’s trance

So don’t fall for the bull
Always watch your back
Be smart, move with Grace
And then Dodge the Hijack

Then push through the sadness
And cultivate gladness
In every thing that you do
You choose the status
Goodness or badness
And Karma brings Justice on cue

With close sisters and brothers
Best friends and best cousins
Gran, mothers and fathers
Gramps and siblings’ youngins
Loved uncles and aunties
All pets and all offspring
Let them be the grantees
Of your charm
Cause them no harm

And with them and ALL others
You must help them discover
The TRUTH, their soul’s alarm

If with them you’ve mind unity
Go and form kind community
Live, work, play with them, get along
If one starts disunity
Don’t give them impunity
In community, ALL belong

Don’t celebrate blame
Or elevate shame
When speaking with your Loved ones
Audit your feelings
In all of your dealings
But be honest and clear, never shun

Then listen intently
And communicate gently
Patience can’t be overdone

You must make yourself vulnerable
With the ones you most give honor upon
Your hearts, your soulmates, use third eye
When it comes to discerning
You must never stop learning
From each other, you ride or die

On family trees
Love makes all the leaves
Each leaf is unique, not just one

Love is not free
Not just about “me”
Yes it must be earned
With care and concern

Love is not fake
You must give to take
It doesn’t come easy
Expect within reason

Focus on easing
In every season
Your mind’s insanities

Don’t sigh frantically when
You struggle to reach kin
Or shout profanity
In time they’ll conceive
A vision that weaves
Delusion’s gravity

If you can’t stick around
Until Truth is found
Go, let them live dark fantasy

But don’t stop believing
That they’ll be redeemed and
Don’t plant bad seeds in

Your mind
That is where you must seek and find
An empty seat for the Divine

To steer your soul
And make it whole
Your mind’s the place Ancestors called the Ark
Sailing rough seas of Love with all the Sparks

Use your heart
To pull apart
What’s hijacked your mind
Your soul will then find
The right path to go forth
To lift physical worth

Mind, Body & Soul Work disclose
There’s no other but Self toĀ control

Reject mind’s internment
Use 3rd eye discernment
Allow it to help you see quirks
In this grand Matrix
Notice when it plays tricks
They’re signals from Spirit to Work

Harbor no hostile feelings
Love always brings the reel in
To catch all the wayward souls

Those Knuckleheads who seek to stray šŸ’”
Learn eventually, the hard way šŸ¤·šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļø 😣

When trouble stirs
And Evil’s near
Pray to Ancestors
And have no fear
If Evil ones come
Surrounding your space
Call Ancestors to
Make them go with haste

If Evil tries to take Love away
Or It conjures disguise to make you betray
Your tribe, those who you most enjoy

Don’t let It keep schemin’
Exorcise your demons
And make sure Its will’s not employed

Dodge the bull!
Let base feelings lull
Use knowledge and logic to gauge
Intuition’s deployment
You are a clairvoyant
You know that this world is a stage

Mind where you tread
And take care of your head

Sometimes the bad
Can lead to the good
And sometimes good leads to the bad

But if you use Intuition
In every decision
The “ending” will make you quite glad
