Judgement Day

How can we let go
Of the need to judge
Entrenched in our beliefs
With no room to budge

When we let go
Of this game of control
We will be able to access
The light within our soul

By judging others
We impose our beliefs
With no thought for them
There is no room for peace

By denying them
Their own freedom of choice
You rob them the power
Of their inner voice

We all have
Our own lessons to learn
And it is up to us
To learn to discern

When we are
Overstepping our bounds
And not realizing
We all have different backgrounds

By thinking that we know
What another needs
We deny them the opportunity
To see where their own path leads

Sometimes we need
To make our own mistakes
So we can learn the lessons
About what it really takes

To transform
And create real change
And find the freedom
To rearrange

All the pieces
And where they need to fit
Especially when it feels
Like you just want to quit

This journey is for us
To learn and explore
What do you think
That this is all for

This adventure that we take
This life on Earth
Is here to teach us
About our true worth

When we stop trying to control
And allow others to be
We give them the freedom
To truly be free

No longer bound
To these false pretenses
We can relax
And lower our defenses

And trust that others
Are just as capable as us
And if you’re really worried
Then maybe you can discuss

Your point of view
With another being
Without feeling forced
To always be agreeing

By letting go
Of the need to be right
You stop bringing on
All these senseless fights

Recognize that
You don’t know it all
Pretending to be the Master
Will be your biggest downfall

Your ego will dominate
With an iron will
Until you learn to find the peace
That comes from being still

It is only in silence
That the voice of truth is heard
To expect to know it all
Is completely absurd

People have been searching
All throughout history
For an answer to solving
The eternal Great Mystery

What if the answer
Lies within the question
And the meaning for us
Is found through expression

Through our creativity
And our unique gifts
As the veil of Maya
Begins to lift

Revealing to us
Our inner light
So that we can align
And learn to unite
