The Empire’s Old and New…Close

Every day in every way WE are growing loster and loster—-My observation

The Piper and that observant boy*

Who saw the Emperor quite exposed…

Exist today

In many a way

Confusion- AND disquiet grows-

We follow “research,” fads and trends

And seldom ask and ponder why

Just join a fun-running team of ‘mates’

Never questioning what we do or buy

We call this new and normal too

Though neither is wise nor sane nor true

So as for me I disagree-

Thus this maxim keeps me free:

I AM GETTING HEALTHIER AND WEALTHIER

Ask me why?…Because I vie**

To think, to reason, explore,

Decry

Loster and loster?

No not I!

I decline to join that compliant roster–

Freedom and wisdom demand a choice

Expect a measured, treasured voice

Just following ‘trends’ leads to dead ends…

Choose YOUR path, your food, your friends

Gain the awareness of “terrain”

Free the illness; stem the pain.

The microbiome becomes one’s gain.

* Revisit the tale/idiom of Andersen’s “The Emperor’s New (and I add True) Clothes”

**Striving to be kindfully and mindfully, emotionally and spiritually healthier
