Can't play music, but I write some poetry.

[niemandgeist]

Society governs that we adhere
to its standards and march to its
beat

A regimented pattern
of predictable steps
guiding the rhythm of our feet

I cast aside conformity
shun such laws
make haste retreat

I plug my ears
I close my eyes
I look within
only to meet

the possibilities
endless and fruitful
I follow my heart,
a drum that is truthful

I drown out the norms,
societal mores
I follow my soul
to a place that is warm

I accept my individuality
embrace the oddness
natural to me

So an outlander I become
freed from a world
so cold and numb

They mock
they taunt
and belittle me

Yet they do not realize:
They are slaves

And I

I am free.

 I really liked this.

I've been trying to return to my younger ways also.

A very respected Buckminster Fuller once said:
   
             â€œWe should do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.”

If you aren't familiar with him or his work, I think you will find it appealing.  I think I may start a thread just on him , his work and his philosophy. 

All the best to you on your journey.

Ozone, thanks very much for the recommendation. The passage you've chosen to share really seems to be up my alley.

Oh, and I will keep up the writing, good people.

Bucky Fuller was a TRUE revolutionary. He's kind of a Tesla in the fact that he doesn't get the recognition he deserves for his genius. 

There are some good videos of him giving his lectures on youtube as well.  This is a real good one. I think his concepts will resonate deeply within you, as they should all of us.
