Solace

Sitting in contemplation

seeking solace

in the universal mind

searching my heart

for signs of peace

in a world gone wrong

listening for the sound

of my inner voice

telling me what’s real

when all I hear are lies

gossip and smears

on social media

on cable news networks

on Capitol Hill

in a country run by fools

saying power to the people

but not for me and you

while down on the farm

they are spoon-feeding

the sheep political 

pornography

unable to think freely

or question authority

when all I know is

the truth is within me

I am what I am

seeking solace

sitting in contemplation
