Quick Bio: 3 years ago a friend of mine Cheyanne aka “Mariah Haley” was assigned in her Intro to Philosophy class, to describe her philosophy in a poem as her Final. This was to be strictly her opinion, and she came to me in aid of expressing her thoughts into poetry. We ended up collaborating on this philosophical poem, and I hope you all enjoy it.
I believe that through experience we realize, that we create our own reality.
One not founded upon other peoples visions, but through our own day to day experiences.
If we learn to embrace each breath, and rejoice because we’ve have gotten the chance to feel every day, then we will learn that knowledge itself is power.
The power to recreate your world, and at the same time be the survivor in the “big picture”.
In this race against time, to live and to learn, one will always encounter numerous hurdles.
Some are higher than others, and whether you fall or not; what keeps you running is ambition.
What separates our souls is that some looked to be saved, and others look for another alternatives.
If you fall you cannot wait for someone to pick you up, you must get up on your own and dust yourself off.
Ambition is a value embedded in the soul. It is who you are, and like sweat it seeps out from all over your body and overwhelms you with strength.
In order to stimulate that strength we must stand strong in our beliefs, but not ignorant to our mistakes.
Although religion is man-made, our souls are spiritually molded; a connection with a higher power feeds your conscience, and that is how one is able to digest this food for thought.
Look who’s left deserted. What about the living others around us?
Trees and plants provide us the oxygen, which replenishes our lives and animals revitalize our stomachs, but also protect us with and without training..
However, we as humans don’t see each other as equal.
Only the strong survive, but how do you know whose the strongest if everyone is authentic.
Just like the equator individuality is invisible, but it’s wanted across the world.
The planet needs people who take everyday to learn something new, and surround themselves with inspiring dreams because a life without dreaming is not a reality at all.
We have been leaving the truth behind and hiding behind our walls of comfortable lies.
We have become a society so in debt to wealth and power; that we refuse to acknowledge our duty to the planet
Lost in this battle of greed and war, consumed by pollution, it is killing us slowly…
Education that teaches us to climb the corporate ladder instead of to live peacefully with our neighbors.
Our neighbors who are literally next door and physically across the world.
We don’t even realize that we share this planet with everyone, and at the same time, we share the same fate.
Our existence depends on the way we spend every beautiful breath, the way we step and every stride we take.
Even though the footprints we leave behind in the sands on this planet, are washed away…
Life is our choice, we have the power to create something beautiful.
We have the resources to build and live in this web of life.
