Here you said much that I agree with. Here's a recent poem I wrote:

"Oh mon amours, why do you fall for it?

You self-important humans, after all

There’s a sucker born every minute

The apple from the tree does not far fall

Tolle and others sell you seats in their halls

Robbins laughs at you from edge of Hell’s pit

Selling you that which can never be bought

Oh mon amours, why do you fall for it?

Power of positive thought is bullshit

Sometimes surrender proves most powerful

Yet you think you think you can control all of it

You self-important humans, after all

But listen to your souls, half nature’s call

Not to power structures’ need to exist

Creating false Gods and morals for all

There’s a sucker born every minute

Buddha, Jesus, Mohammad, all prophets

Achieved Nirvana, back to share Great All

Failed to teach us, why should we now trust Shift?

The apple from the tree does not far fall

Let our hearts and minds not be small

Access the Divine that is infinite

Collective power to overcome all

Change mindset, what’s the harm in thinking it

— Oh mon amours"

I am not your typical spiritualist. I believe in accountability and responsibility.
