Exhibitionists and Voyeurs

 

            Who are we?

            But exhibitionists and voyeurs

            Writing and talking about things

            Seems we have no control over

            And yet every page we read

            Makes us steadily wiser

            Rich in spiritual energy

            Each piece of ourselves we bleed

            Into the matrix

            Makes us ever more whole

 

            Like an invisible shield

            That energy protects us

            Our auras radiate and vibrate

            To a kind of marching tune

            Moving us forward

            Ever baby steps, baby steps

            As exhibitionists and voyeurs

            Who learn, grow, and teach

           

            That exhibitionism and voyeurism

            Don’t have to be bad things

            The written kind, the literary kind

            The best kinds

            Whether in a poem, short story

            Or novel

            Though for the majority

            Straight conversation

            Is where you’ll see

            And reveal the most
