It Is Up to US

It Is Up to US

A Poem by Maryam Mottahedeh

It Is Up to US

We have to do away with our synthetic ways

The way of synthetic sugars

Substitute for nature

Synthetic fats and oils

Synthetic weather storms and fabrics

If we are to sustain the fabric of our life

Our health and the ownership of our minds

Our common sense

Our minds we must not leave behind

To soak up the dust of television

We must reject the suffocation of synthetic perfumes

Instead, lets fill our senses with pure

Pure essential oils

Pure essential truths as the color of blood within our veins

As the reflection of morning to the song of the birds

And the honor to walk in the extension of our being

In the bouquet of Nature

 

We must not accept genetic manipulation

Nor the manipulation to our dollar with inflation, taxation and fraud bubbles created by the elite

There is no one out there to wait for

It is up to us

To do away with our baggage

And carry the wisdom of our past

Of those practical mystical functional way of our grandparents perhaps

Not a rejection of technology

But away from the ongoing puppet show of greet

The puppet shows of propaganda

That the benefit of war is in sight

If we are to keep our eyes

We must behold a new vision

 

That the pain of forgotten responsibilities

Will only gain more layers
