"I Would Not Lead"

I cannot repair my ego
with my tool kit of time and space

or with questions, rules
and understanding.

My ego can but be forgiven
for the simple fact of

not being real or true in any way.
For this I now know

I merely follow One Who Knows
the way, for I cannot lead.

It isn't that I should not lead,
but that I cannot lead.

Unreality cannot in any way
lead reality.

What is false cannot in any
way lead the truth.

The blind cannot lead
the One Who Sees All.

Death cannot lead life
nor hate love.

Therefore, today, and
tomorrow and then again and again.

I will merely choose to follow
for I would not lead.
