Thank you Religion, Farewell

 Part I.

Thank you Religion,

You built a foundation

On which

We understand God 

Thanks to you

You were brought to us 

From the cosmos

In a time of 

darkness and despair

We were brought Great Teachers

of Love and Kindness

so that no man

East to West 

may be in darkness

Thank you Religion,

Farewell to your division

of the people

 across the world

Thank you Religion,

Farewell 

You did us well

A primer, A beginning

A shift to a new paradigm 

Let us not crumble like

Atlantis or Mu

Let's stop being self-conscious 

And do what God Consciousness

wants us to do

Part II.

We are to find our personal power-

     to show others how to empower themselves.

I have learned my life purpose-

    to live fearlessly, boldly, 

Shine so bright for others 

They illuminate themselves from within

I am to live fearlessly, confidently, radiating goodness to all

Who came before me and after

And the ones

Who are shy,

Who don't have friends in class,

To them, I am kindest

I make them feel a part of

Because I remember what it was like

not having a voice of my own

and longing so badly for human connection

I was powerless over the curse 

of self-consciousness

Until I worked through my pain

and could speak again.
