How long will it be
Before the need
To hoist someone
To a pedestal
Is seen
As a perpetual
Renunciation
and
Devaluing
Of what it is
To be
You?
Nobody
Across the board
Knows more about
All there is to know...
No - (body)
Knows
What it is
To be
You
Everyone
Can represent
A teacher
They might have
More to share
If they allow
Themselves
To be seen
Outside of their
Expertise container
You might
Gain a greater
Love and respect
For the
Universality
of
Humanity
and
For
What it is
To be you..
No need to reinvent
The wheel
"Pull-ups" and inspiration
From another
a glorious
Embodiment of cooperation
There comes a time
When
Perpetual pedestal placement
and
The frequent displacement
of it's occupant
Through life itself
or
By your own hand
Becomes a grand avoidance
Of the opportunity
To declare
The arrival of
You as:
Hero.
Guru.
Teacher.
Guide.
You serve not...
Yourself
or your chosen
pedestal occupant
Through this elevation..
To more fully embrace
Yourself
In
Love of Self
Will free
You to be
More authentically You
and
Orient your love
Toward another
As
The extension of
Your love for self
Rather
Than make them
The object
of
or the source
Of love
Both.
A complete
Abandoning of
The love that you are
And
What it is
to be you....
