Immerse. Poem by Tom Billsborough

Immerse.



Demolish walls that bar you from yourself.
Eliminate the conceited puppet around your conscience.
They injected you with a hump's opinion.
They nailed you in Time defining you by age
They embedded you with the grim faces of ancestors.
They enclosed your being in a passport,
In a language, in a suit of mud
And mutilated your differences.
Cease to live around you,
Detach yourself from the superfluous.
Look for the invisible root until your self
Is free of beliefs. And immersed in happiness.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The above is a translation of a poem by Alejandro Jodorowski by Rod Mendieta and myself. The Spanish Text is below.

Sumergir - Poem by Alejandro Jodorowsky
Demuele los muros que te separan de ti mismo.
Elimina al monigote construido alrededor de tu conciencia.
Te inyectaron la corcova del parecer.
Te clavaron en el tiempo definiéndote por la edad.
Tu embutieron en el rostro muecas de antepasados.
Encerraron tu ser en un pasaporte, en un idioma, en un traje de barro.
Mutilaron tus diferencias.
Cesa de vivir a tu alrededor, despréndete de lo superfluo,
Busca la raíz invisible hasta que te encuentres libre
De definiciones, sumergido en la felicidad.
