Seekers & Servants

How'd we become
So pliable?
How'd we get
So loose with trust?
Giving it up to the likes of the ruthless few
Who exploit naive
To ensure their incomes will grow

Let's choose to
Educate ourselves;
Question everything
Question our neglect of simplicity
Reassess the state of a quality-led life

We are the lie
Empowered by
Our own misguided chase
After the "best" with haste
But what we're told
And what we're sold relate
So keep an eye
On bottom lines
Let's all educate ourselves;
Question everything;
Question our neglect
Of simplicity
Humility
And love

While alone in silence
Truth will find us listening;
No distractions for our senses to read;
No manipulative tactics to entice
Us to feed insanity

When we let go of our things, we see the cost in what's left:
Impaired bodies
And a weakened connection
To the ones we could have come to trust

Now begin the recovery
Begin anew;
Expel conditioning
Reset the view;
Lessen possessions
Lessen restraint;
Prosper from minimal material weight

If initially we knew to
Work upon ourselves
Not everyone else
Abundance would be occurring naturally
Taking what we need
And giving back devoutly
If initially we knew to
Educate ourselves
(question everything)
Educate yourself;
Question everything
