Carry The Stone

We are all made to
carry the stone.
societies rules and
religions commandments
on how we should
think and live
forced reactions from
minds made dependent
no free thinking
individuality not allowed
Society, Religion
force the masses
to be of one mind
creating a he
rd
follow without question
the mentality they need
to accomplish their idea
of a one world order
We are all made to
carry the stone
it's the heavy-weight
of the masses.

An astute observation so gracefully shared.

Insightfully profound.

I love your soft lyricism--intellectual yet feminine.

Resisters in any society are the objects of its resentment. Free thinkers usually get stoned, or crucified. You couldn't have said it better. Thanks for sharing.

I appreciate the philosophical perspective that you have presented here within your verses. I agree with you. Love and peace and best wishes,

One world order is a frightening concept. I prefer traveling to the beat of my own drum. Excellent piece. Your friend, Kathy

There's so much truth in this one. People should be free to choose how they live their own lives. Everyone was born into this world empty handed, and there was no manual in life, so each of us walk in our own paths. It is only courteous that we walk in our own path and not to interfere with others walking theirs.

Excellent write Bear your words are so true
Deep inside I try not to follow Feeblest rule to the "T"
The church and society has planty of them
I consider mysef, my own man
Peace & love Be with you

Well said. Hopefully, the Internet will help us all understand each other better and knowledge will overcome our many stones we carry without thinking.

Indeed it is and few are those who learn how to shift its weight, even briefly. A brilliant write.

A mind which does not question is soon a shrinking mass of unconnected neurons. I very much enjoyed this provocative poem. Thank you, Hugs, J'nia <> <

The only true progress in this world has been made by independent thinkers. The alternative is a scary prospect indeed. A very fine write, Carolyn!

A lot of truth here, Bear, but the fact that you can write
like this makes the stone a bit lighter. -gene.

Powerfully penned thought provoker, Bear, very well penned. We don't have to carry the stone - there's One Who will carry it for us, if we'd let Him ...

Darn, and you dared to say such things out loud, One of our greatest sins, for the convienience of convienience, give up that of who we really are, and not live our moment, that spark in space and time, a very great sin indeed, those that had the courage to make their true statement, many were stoned, crucified, burned, or shuned by a cowardly public weren't they? this is a great deep burning write my friend, you have said much, and said it in great style.

Like Sisyphus, the one rolling a big stone uphill to the other side and condemned by Olympus gods to roll it back and front some people will roll uphill their stones beyond their dead.

A very sad state of affairs if we succumb - long live free thinking and individuality.
