 poetry and RHYME from the MIND of MichaelKamau

Religion Of Self


give thanks every morning along with moment of silence,
for those who came BEFORE
this is done in a quiet place
or some private space
or in a room after closing the DOOR
be strong when religious critics try to judge
instead of arguing,
all you have to do is respectfully IGNORE

welcome to the religion of SELF
a belief filled with spiritual WEALTH
we don't cry or moan or curse or complain
we deal with the hand that was DEALT

our idea of a good time is a walk through the woods,
sit by the river and enjoy the wind and the AIR
the ones who acknowledge this truth
become increasingly AWARE
if you need a belief system to feel closer
to God Almighty, just close your eyes,
breathe deeply, you're already THERE

don't be afraid to step away
from man-made, ritualistic BELIEF
only your deeper self, which is your sober mind
can understand how a flock of flying GEESE
can show us the true meaning of PEACE
welcome to a world of pure solitude
and experience what it's like to
smile just before going to SLEEP..

awaken to another blissful DAWN
don't be surprised when confusion and sadness
are long GONE
listen to the creatures of nature,
the secrets of time hide
within the melody of their SONG

members of the religion of self
live be a controversial, yet proven PHILOSOPHY;
where our souls go when our carcass is gone
is the ONLY real MYSTERY!
this truth, not only sets us apart,
this is the truth which sets us FREE
