it's a given
they love you best
when you're agreeable
careful...
opinions stated
out of sync
out of place
unacceptable
praise and worship
due unto
them
that make the rules
of nonsense
why
anyone knows
"them that gots, has"
and the rest of us
would do well to remember...
sparks a realization
wellness is not
what we do
in sand covered faces
buried deep beneath
the truth
freedom finds a way
to seek the light of
disapproval
then
sounds of
stand up
squint hard and
think for yourself
take form
and change becomes
possibility.
