Why Write? (The Message)

it's all about the message!
one form, another form,
non forms... doesnt matter.

and i dont have your answers,
most times.......
i dont even know the questions!

i just want you to listen....
not to me, or anyone else
in particular....

to listen to the honest
and raw beating of
your own heart!

if i have to stand on my head,
or rhyme the gates of hell....
or walk before you naked....

so be it....
the message.....
freedom, equality, sensuality,

spirituality, compassion, beauty...
all begin in your own heart....
know thyself!
