A World of Chaos and Celebrity Clowns

I sat alone in a tree

And looked on down,

At a world filled with chaos

And celebrity clowns.

People preaching of truth

But not saying any facts.

Consumed by arrogance

And their devilish acts.

Selling click bait

Disguised as news.

Preaching at me

That their lies are truth.

I found it exhausting

So I came to this tree,

Afraid of the masses

Preferring time with me.

But a hawk flew by

And perched on my side,

Calling me out

On trying to hide.

The hawk was honest

I found it refreshing.

Telling me it was true

Many things were depressing.

But at the same time

There were many blessings.

Just hard to notice

Through the many deceptions.

Cause those blinded by hate

Don’t want you to see,

That through compassion and love

You get to be free.

For the world is filled

With distractions galore,

From greed, envy, and likes,

And keeping fake scores.

But the truth is that

By connecting to the heart,

You’ll be guided back home

To your own fresh start.

The hawk told me to go

And be with humanity,

And embrace the wild ride

Filled with utter insanity.

Life is a story

Still waiting to be written,

So go share your love

And let go of division.

Listen to your heart

It knows the way,

You are always protected

And loved everyday.

I thanked the hawk

and jumped on down,

Rejoining the people,

And ignoring the clowns.
