Thomas Hart Benton
I know Mervyn felt this compassion
and deep desire for others,
to reach them in their prisons.
Many poets and conscious beings
use the imagery of confinement
to describe part of the journey,
and I feel it is powerful and relevant especially now.
William Blake, as he wandered the streets of London
saw in people’s expressions,
“The Mind forged manacles”, also.
So powerful a description for the prison of sleep
and unawareness of the mind
and how it can twist and devise our true reality
and “Birthright”.
It is after all our true Birthright to be “Awake”
to taste presence,
be in state of what work calls “Man number five”.
We must keep reminding everyone,
no matter how -
can be with a silent smile,
an intention we project -
that there is hope to escape the prison.
