Release The Little Alien

Puritanism - a haunting fear
someone might be happy when
we should live unhappy lives

Atoning for the sin of spirit falling
into physical existence through
sinful conception

Warped my youth into guilt and fear
Abraham’s website is the antidote
reality is inter-subjective consensus

We are free to create joy just as we
created all the repressive systems
in existence

Freedom to choose the best-feeling
thoughts is founded upon respect
for all other choices

From a smorgasbord of ideas while
ignoring things we dislike without
blowing them up

*****************

We all live on islands
role-players finding their
own preferred settings
writing their own scripts
choosing their own scenery
the music and atmosphere
existing within their own
imagination

A most wonderful
experience is to choose
to be joyous and elated
interested and
stimulated

History science philosophy
and religion teaches original
thinking holds more joy than
old stale thoughts

*******************

A cynic in my youth I discover
innocence late in life – joy of
appreciating self and others
in this benevolent universe

Joy of devotion to a self-chosen
goal and ecstasy of energy – I am
impervious to ennui of the blasé
I release The Little Alien

Living in my head to lead
in a great adventure of consciousness
character overcoming challenges
discovering glorious sensations

Sensation of being deliciously alive
an experience I will not exchange
for all the riches under the sun!
