You Can Lead A Horse To Water

You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink
You can give folks information but you can’t make ’em think
You can put it in a wrapper or you can tie it in a bow
But if people aren’t hungry they will never learn to know.
At least we put it out there where just anyone can see
So that those who might be looking can simply use it to get free
Too long these truths were hidden, not available to all
Now at least it’s out there to feed the ones who hear the call
So let the truth out freely, while some may scorn or mock
(‘like reality is toxic, though faint and parched they walk..)
One day they’ll stop and try it, whatever it may take
They’ll be glad you put it out there and a better world we’ll make
Ideas and words are power but the hearer must desire
To draw with will and wonder from the well of ice and fire
We cannot force or overwhelm, imposing wills on those
Who need to learn to want to choose, and so their spirit grows
But when these people activate their true imagination
They’ll find the power waiting that they’re One with all Creation
Knowledge is a wondrous tool yet often overblown
But mixed with love and wisdom it can really hold its own
The key is how we take it, yet it needs to be displayed
Where all can find and use it, that’s how the game is played
So keep the juices flowing, no matter what the fate
Your truth and kindness waters those escaping out the gate.
Love, Zen
