POSTSCRIPT TO THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE

EGO’s been on his perch

in the old Knowledge Tree

for more than a million years

and, through the power of its corrupted fruit,

has eased his way into millions of human minds,

filling them and their bodies

and everything else

with millions and millions

of tears.

After this long and fruitless search

for something that doesn’t exist

push him off his perch.

 Deprived of the drunken separatism,

 that keeps him in his place,

 he simply evaporates.

 Is it good to discover and feel

 old Ego has never

 been for real?

 My task

 (and yours)

  is

 (and always has been)

  to get rid of you and me

  to get rid of us and them

  to get rid of was and will be

  to get rid of should and should not

  to get rid of might and mightn’t

  is

 (and always has been)

  to wake up

  from the dreams of our identities

  and find ourselves

  Here

  where we are always seen

  Now

  where we have always been.
