The Prison Stalemate
Prison is Hell, prison is time-out, prison is gift. Prison teaches us to pause. But it’s better to listen before the Thunder comes to knock at our door. Listen to partners, listen to lawyers! If we listen, we can stop wars. We must transcend the tornado that’s tearing us apart. There is still mercy, the guilty should take the plea bargain offered. Better take it in a meeting room. The judge will punish, but it won’t end conflict. Prison is just a pitstop for all who really mess up. But better be honest and find remorse. Show that we fucked up, tell that we’re sorry. We may find mercy; we can still heal. If we don’t listen, there is jail time.
Love needs boundaries, Love is sacred. Don’t harm others, they are your brothers. We are all one, we are all sacred. Life has no value because it is priceless. We can’t settle if someone cuts a limb. We need time-out to grow it all back. If someone cuts joints and pierces hearts, he or she should find the strength to stop the war that’s shaken their throne. Mind is a Google; it can connect dots. Sometimes it has glitches, sometimes it errs. We can admit that our system failed. We are forgiven if we upgrade.
Think about Love, find in your heart the strength to endure! Flip your opponents, they are your partners. We are all training, it’s just a sparring. Sometimes the field is larger than life. We are all pawns, and gods play chess. Some will be sacrificed; some will turn into queens. Know that Love heals. Take your time-out! Jailtime isn’t worth it if we are brave enough to plead guilty and tell that we’re sorry. Show our remorse, show gratitude for the chance to change.
Legal action is our time-out. It helps us write out all the pain, it helps us process all wounds and sorrows. If we couldn’t listen and couldn’t see our partners, this is our chance to take our time-out. It’s not enough to just gash out all that we feel. That’s just the first step, we need to take the next, too. We should think carefully about direct and unintended consequences if we burn bridges. However, once all the bridges have turned into ashes, we can still feel Love at the end of the road. So, take your time, take as much as you need. If you have hurt someone, find remorse, say that you’re sorry.
Attack isn’t always the best defence. We need love to put up walls, take our time and rebuild bridges. This time let’s not mess up! Our partners need time to heal their wounds. We are all training; we need to listen. We need to pay attention when partners attack. They are just hurt; they need our help. The aim is to turn our sparring into a dance. Turn the dance into The Song of Songs! We need to listen and heal all the wounds. Verdicts just give us a chance to step back. Prison sentence is our time-out.
But convicts don’t heal unless they feel liable. Their task is to transcend all fear and reconnect the dots. This time, without messing up, so we can go shake hands. Our opponents are our dance partners. We are just sparring to pay attention. Our job is to find our shadows and overcome all the monsters. Deep down we know it is Love that we need. We shouldn’t enforce it but let all the wounds heal. We should settle disputes before it is too late. We need all partners to be our teachers. We should thank the honourable court for the time-out granted. Best not to face the judge though.
We need to rebuild the system that has failed us. We need to find all the failures and repair all the defects. Build more bridges, say that we are sorry. Even if wrongly accused, we can be heroes. Find all the love buried deep down and find a new meaning after the war! Prison is time-out, it’s just another round. Court proceedings give us a chance to process the wounds: both the perpetrator’s and victim’s. We should bear in mind that we can attempt to settle before the sentence is read. Ask for a pardon, ask from the bottom of our soul. Else judgments give time-outs but don’t end conflicts.
All the parties need to find strength. Turn the tables before it’s too late. Don’t just loath when you are heroes. Heroes don’t need to always be kings. Give up your crown, gift it to Love! Hear your partner, find the Black Swan! If both of you listen and stop mudslinging, there can be justice that’s mercy and grace. You want to save your face. Don’t be afraid to take off the mask! You need partners to heal all the wounds. Dance the dance, don’t just pretend! Life is worth saving, hold hands with your partners! You are just sparring to shake off all dust.
You are awakening to birth a new meaning. The old system sucked. It was full of glitches. It doesn’t matter how malware got you. There are Trojans that fuck up our plans. Please, press restart! Clear the mess! Delete the errors, get rid of all Trojans! You and your partners are one system. You need to find what caused errors. Once you get it, you are pardoned. Else it’s just a time-out. You’re locked in a cell. There is no Internet. There is no work. You have no income, but you can earn wisdom. You are a hero swallowed by a wolf. You need to listen. Let the wolf howl! Once in a blue moon you can transform.
There is Love in prison cells. But better find it before you go there. You can meditate at your own home. Contemplate your partners, hear what they say! They need love and so do you. Go shake hands, bury the hatchet! Turn your enemies into friends! Once you might need them to extend their hands. Even if you never meet, their voices will echo in your head. Pain is there to help you grow. Love means distance, do not speed up! You don’t want a car crash. You just need to spin.
Rewrite your story, don’t blame your partners! You are both training, you must pay attention! There is still Love after bloodshed. There is forgiveness. We are one Tree. We need all the roots and branches. We need them healthy; we need them strong. Help us find errors! Let’s exterminate malwares! We need to get back to the clean slate. Tabula rasa is where we find peace. Clear the mess, don’t blame your partners! You both just want to find the Black Swan. It will give you Meaning, turn into a Phoenix. It’s OK to turn to ashes. Once we are burnt and have regretted all sins, we can find Meaning, the golden egg.
Adjournments are needed to find the Black Swan. The Black Swan will come if you listen. Don’t prosecute others, do not throw stones! If you cross the red lines, there will be walls. Karma brings consequences, we can’t avoid the law. We can just bargain for more time-outs. Together you must find Trinity, Neo! She is the Swan Princess; she is your bride. Don’t choose Hamlet, go for the Wedding! Find a new meaning, rewrite the code! We can crack malware if we join hands. We need a reset, take the time-out! Better settle before it's too late. There are retreats and there is space. There are dance classes and choirs.
You can’t steal Love. You can’t bribe it. Love comes and goes as she pleases. Let her dance! You’re never alone. Love is your partner; Love is your pain. Love wants to heal us, turn into heroes. But first we must scrub all the burnt kettles. For those who can’t help us, there is jailtime. We are one system. We are one code. Turn stalemates into a dance! Dance with your partner, dance with Love! Shake off sorrow, feel the beat! Let the music heal! You are heroes; you can do it. You are meant to flow. Turn the prison into a river! Let it flow and wash your grief! There is no more stiffness, no need for a time-out. You can hug your friend. Dance, be happy, be you! There is no need to escape anywhere. Your mind is a prison. Turn it off! Open your heart and let the beat flow! Let it take your body over, music will make you love.
