'Thimk' of 'Ourself'
hanging still, quietly,
in that old library
the sign spelled out
what it wanted me
to commence doing
right immediately:
'THINK!' it demanded,
quite unsuccessfully.
the sign was later on
replaced with a new one
‘THIMK!’ it yelled out,
and awoke my brain
to some playful mood,
streams of thoughts
were laughing, dancing,
fast billowing all around!
then, i saw
a similar sign
that made grammarians
red-faced
and raving mad.
.
‘OURSELF,’ it said,
as writ
by a ‘thimker’ of some wit,
insisting the word
to be fit.
he’d challenge
and change
the human world with it!

Only a lived consciousness of Human Oneness, as stated by the young Filipino sage Emilio Jacinto, can help us comprehend the truth of our collective self, and this is the Truth that will set us free: WE ARE ONE! Let's all spread the word and its Truth!
