Awakening

Interesting poem - maybe some people don't want to be awake - being awake can be hard work :-)

thought provoking ink :-)

My conclusion too - being awake is hard work. Thanks for the comment.

I'm awake but I'd rather not be

You mean the more 'awake' one is, the more sensitivity to pain one feels?

Exactly

Wow!  I read this as an awakening once we release societal chains and though the Prophets and other Lightworkers sound the alarm, many either don't want to or are unable to awaken.

Thanks for reading in my back-catalogue' - and for the RL (Reading list)  recommendation.
It's the 'Opening Poem' in a collection I hope to re-self-publish on Blurb.co.uk soon (title of the collection is "Wandering Monks & Orphan Pilgrims" - old version to be removed from amazon).

Awakening in consciousness goes hand-in-hand with societal change for the better, I hope. Experience tells me a lot of people don't want to 'awaken' - it's too challenging.

Some are awake but refuse to wake up to the truth and realities of life.

'Tis strange but true. Sometimes being in 'blissful ignorance' appears to feel like the better option - which it might for a short time at least.
