BETTERMENT

 

I am very intrigued by
words of the great man
who battled brilliance
and insanity alike

dissecting meaning
from values lost
from morality forced
to slaves created

creating depictions
of methods to seek
the betterment of
the free soul inside

by waking up one day
seeing a camel’s reflection
being obedient to all
a slave to expectations

then rejecting it all
transforming to the lion
start a rebellion by roar
rejecting the slavery

then trying your best
becoming the child
freedom achieved
new values created

how these theories
escaped my attention
for so many years
is truly beyond me

but thus is the world
thus was my focus
thus I now appreciate
Thus Spoke Zarathustra.
