Premature Exposure

our journey began years ago when we were born
into this expansive world without our choice to
be from this mother...  with these parents and in
this location...  and yet, here we all all today...
our lives were groomed long ago by those
over which we had not control until an age
forced us to be free and clear...  choices took
us to many fabulous places and we met all sorts
of outrageious people as we learned ore were
taught or somehow acquired information that
formulated the knowledge of our understanding;
our paths entertwined with more until we became
networked with a family...  and again, our choices
became not our own...  even though they revolved
around the opinions and ideals of others like us...
who, at one time or another perceived our free will
and perceived our willingness to exercise that will
regardless of the influences circumventing its
premature exposure...  and, on opposite sides of
awareness we stood...  somewhat transfixed by the
memories and fears that motivated us here...
soldiers without weapons...  soldiers of words...
whose beliefs and words had become imprisioned;
our journey began years ago and will end one day
when least expected as life becomes trapped inside
its own unnatural existence whose purpose all
along has been to search for its own meaning and
to make sense out of that which makes no sense.
