To Repel Ghosts

liberate yourself

by

repelling ghosts

kick those yesterdays to the curb

and throw away the doubt

that grinds you down

replace it instead with the maddened belief

that life is far more than a

process of gaining money through

repeated tasks

we are not monkeys

we’re starlovers

conscious minds burning brightly

in a universe of

infinite chaos

so why not

go against the grain of

expectation

the dulling horror

of what life has been reduced to

and stand up like a nail

fighting for

freedom

expression

and love

because everything else

is just useless

    This is so true. I learned long ago that money does not make you happy and it isn’t the thing you should aspire to either.

    1. Definitely agree! There’s so much more to life if you’re prepared to ‘step outside’.
