there are times of internal sovereignty
because our thoughts are exposed
and unlimited
our personal universe
is also exposed, our soul left to ramble
astounded, even puzzled

this is because so-called stars are attuned
to people looking up to them
movie stars, sports heroes
they are there for us to worship
as a child boy's play with plastic soldiers
girl's Barbie Dolls

once we evolve within ourselves
we begin to think differently
concerning our thoughts of who we are
we understand the idols of yesteryear
are counterfeit
and it takes us some time to adjust

we change our thoughts about
heretofore ritual of old rites of passage
reassert basic tribal requirements
even our call to church dominations
and basically look at life as would a child
with wonder at the majestic
world we live in
yes it is a drastic change
yes sometimes you will be afraid
but like the child you used to be
you keep putting one foot in front of the other
until you find that place
where you are destined to find

Agreed! becoming more like a child with his or her wonder, trust, open-mindedness, etc. etc. is definitely a step in the right direction as far as finding ourselves and entering into our own personal utopias.  Wonderful thoughts and meditations you've shared here. Thank you!
