Poem to ponder: "Trapped in a Gilded Prison"


Trapped in a Gilded Prison

There’s a teaching that I know,
from years of personal living, that
opens a door to eternal wisdom and
then closes the door behind you,
locking you in with its teacher; and
everyone I know who lives by this
new age teaching cannot get beyond
its blue box wisdom, truths stolen
from an ancient source but worn so
thin from recycling that it has lost
the integrity of its original meaning,
sadly keeping one’s unwary soul
trapped in a gilded prison.
