Possibilities

There was
nothing
in our heads.

It was clean and open.

Then,
came our
parents.

They sat us
in front of the tv
while they
tried
to forget
their failures.

They sent us
to school
to get an
education?

We learned
all about
fear.

We had to
accept
this
as our world.

Just as our parents did.

And their parents too.

The never ending cycle
spinning
out of control.

All hopes
and dreams
cast
aside.

All life
wasted
and warped.

It's over for them.

This is our world.

This is our time
to forget
all
that we've been taught.

This is our time
to wake up
our minds
to the infinite
possibilities
within ourselves.

This is our time
to take back
what is ours:

LIFE.

In the Bones

The soul
does not reside
in the heart.

Nor in the brain.

Or the liver.

It's in our bones.

It hides
in the marrow.

Where nothing
can harm it.

When we die,
it's not
released.

It stays there.

In the bones.

It dreams there
till it cannot
dream
anymore.

Then it is
finally
released.

It becomes
something
new.

Something
different.

Something
not
like
you.

So we never remember
our past lives.

We wouldn't want to.

We wouldn't be able
to start
anew.

We would
collapse
under
our past mistakes.

Like we do now.

Like we've done
in the past.

Like we'll do
in the future.

Unless,
we listen
to
our
bones.
