Lady of Liberty

(Painting by Nik Helbig) 
Oh Lady of Liberty 
hold your ground
remember your foundation 
remember your origin
the “laws of land” are truly not governed by the people at all.
Mother Gaia shall see that all walls will eventually crumble and fall, all life to the dust from whence we came..
Upon this sacred, fertile land, 
within this self proclaimed “manifest destiny”
…
within a country founded on false liberty i was born, 
taught from an early age to conform
to fit in and play my role in a slavery system..
to not question the iniquity, the poverty, the invasion of our lives with material waste…in witnessing the ravenous ghosts of endless desire and consumption,
a Curiosity arose within me, like a coming of age, like the lotus rising from the mud…a yearning for true meaning…
as the soul’s natural desire is to evolve
and the self’s highest aspiration is to truly be realized.
Guided by the ever burning flame of Truth within us all 
we rise from the ashes of humanity’s waste
for even just a taste of this… Libertea…. 
to see, feel and taste what it is to be truly free.
Hold your ground-
this ever Free Field of Consciousness
within which you wield your power of thoughts, words and deeds to manifest your destiny…
its all a work in progress really.
choosing truth and love to heal, to transform, to ripple out through all creation. 
The Land of Liberty is within you and me.
Hold your torch high & Be a beacon of light in these times.
