102. Random Poem "I Told You So"

I think my mind blew a fuse in the meeting today. It is too bad this blog is public. So, I must stay vague. I feel certain things but I don't want to hurt other's feelings. I wish I could say things freely and not experience consequences for them. But now being in a social group, I already feel constrained in terms of what I can say and do. At least I created a song today. Still not good enough for a pat in the back of productivity.

Is it right for me to say:
"I told you so, I told you so."
When I said the 'xact same thing
Nearly half a year ago.
Is it right for me to say:
"I told you so, I told you so."
When ultimately the people
Come, in time, to their own terms
Come, in time, to their own terms....
O my momma always told me
The Self's the only one you know
O my momma always pinned me
The Self's the only one you control....
So there's no use to play the boss
For the only way to connect the dots
Is the Self to come to terms
Is when the people'll ever learn
Is when the Self to come to terms
Is when the people'll ever learn....
In the freedom of their minds
They search the boundaries to define.
In the freedom of their minds
They sketch the borders an outline.
They search the boundaries to define....
I told you so.
I told you so.
I fold my arms.
I told you so.
But I've been burned.
I told you so.
When will they learn?
I told you so.
"I told you so"
Is just a ghost
Just my mind's ghost
But I say no.
I say no more.
I told you so.
I say no more.
I told you so....
