Self Aware

How does one claim 

self-actualization to be the goal

While avoiding

Self analysis.

We arrived at where we are

Through choice

Our continued denial

Our refusal to hold ourselves accountable

And pass the blame to ancestors long gone

Are not quick fixes, tourniquets, or Red Cross agendas 

These are the things that allow wounds to fester

Hate to grow in abundance

And denied privilege to remain the crown that trumps the court 

Right and wrong

Left and right

Prisons designed by minds

To keep our hearts confined.
