Don't Wait for a Saviour

Don't wait for a great Saviour.
When a saviour comes from outside,
He'd likely demand you surrender
Your freedom for the price of His truth
That's actually only an extortion.

Do you want your Saviour to
Behave this much like a mafa boss?

So close your eyes
And quietly talk to your soul.
So close your eyes
And listen to your soul's quiet reply.
Because true peace comes to you
Only from the reconciliation with yourself...

Yes, you have your own Saviour
Deep inside of your heart.
Yes, our true Self is our true Saviour.

So make peace with yourself.

I am now reading William L. Shirer's classic The Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich. This book tells us how the irresponsible longing for an external saviour could lead to horrible consequences...

Anna: Thank you for your comment. In order to write a poem, I have to wait for one to come out naturally...
