I once attended a service at a new age church where a psychic was giving everyone in the congregation a quick reading. As she walked around the room, she gave each person either a personalized tip or tidbit of advice, some insight into the future, information from or about a loved one, and so on. When she got to me, she pulled back, her eyes widened to take me in, and she simply said, “You’re not from here.” That was it. Whether she was just reading my mind, or telling me an objective truth, I don’t know, but it’s how I’ve always felt. I realize now that my reason for being here is to show people that just about everything they’ve come to believe about themselves, about others, about the world and the universe they live in….is wrong.”
(She told me that I’m not from here
then she simply walked away
For others she had words of hope
for me, had naught to say)
It’s always seemed so silly, and
It’s felt that way since birth
I’ve tried for all my life to fit
but felt not of this earth
It’s time to change the dialogue
to question all that is
To give the world the answers
to a different type of quiz
Why do you do the things you do?
Who made the rules you follow?
Why chase another’s goals for you
and live life feeling hollow?
We need to hear a different drum
and sing a different song
’cause everything we think we know
quite frankly, friend, is wrong
The sense we think is common
all the wisdom experts tout
is nothing but a party line
to keep dissension out
The people that we know and love
the systems that we trust
are flawed upon a closer look
reduced as sham to dust
We’ve put our faith in robes and frocks
worn soiled by men who sin
Molesters some, and jesters all
that’s how it’s always been
The millionaires who make the laws
we vote and follow blind
We learn too late they’re not like us
they’re neither kith nor kind
So, what then do we make of this?
to what hope shall we cling?
How shall we free our futures
from the puppet master’s string?
The answer lies within us.
So, if freedom is your goal,
Stay tuned for answers coming soon.
Sincerely,
Alien Soul
