SELF-DISCOVERY

SELF-DISCOVERY

Self-discovery is a journey.

Endless end
That many people,
Really most
Never see.
I believe in a Day of Account:
Countless eyes
Will run dry,
Myriad heads 
Will be bowed.

Designed myriads,
Made each different,
But born conform,
Born really dead.

Self-discovery is a race.
Who will win the prize?
Joy, fulfilment, fame:
For you are best
Where you are blessed.

Subversions.
Lures, deception.
Passions untamed, straying, 
Wandering.
Traps that end
The journey,
Traps that makes
The race a mirage,
And the man dry
Of a spirit lost.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
