identity

a person's true
identity
is rarely shown
if it is
shown
it is rarely seen
people are too afraid to show
who they truly are;
the times they did show
the truth
the values of society
would not allow
the truth(identity)
to even be seen
let alone accepted
...
identity is unlimited
individuals place limits
on only themselves
one has the power
to manifest
whatever
one desires
...
tap into the source
of individuality,
of peace,
of love,
of truth, of being
that is never found without
but
can only be found within

I dentity

Submitted by xingtiao on May 19, 2007 - 6:10pm.

I love your poem Randomsum. Here's one I wrote in 1999.

I am many-chambered,
A Nautilus.
I hide behind, in, above,
Levels, aspects, angles
Of my personality,
Projecting my personae so I admit
It is hard to understand who I am.
Some say if I could rid myself
Of that stuff and why it is
I would then find myself,
The true I, the only thing left,
And know I am actually God.
I am a little bit worried
That after all that effort
All I would find is me,
That is,
I.
Such a small word.

If the value of each human being is equal to the value of the one you love why would you ever participate in killing by war or any other activity with deadly intent. Xingtiao also at soulcast, blogfeast and reviewparty.
