Born, lived some, currently living, hope to live more.
Maybe this or maybe that Maybe’s never where It’s at. Maybe soon or maybe late Maybe sometime would be great. Maybe when or maybe then Maybe I will never win. Maybe so or maybe not Maybe seems like all I’ve got. Maybe gone or maybe here Maybe something that I fear. Maybe found or maybe lost Maybe has too great a cost. Maybe not or maybe so, Maybe I will never know. Maybe life or maybe death Maybe after my last breath. Maybe peace or maybe hell Maybe won’t be there to tell.

Maybe
Some biased men might listen well To what some wise men have to tell. But secretly the tales are changed As concepts are all rearranged. Translations get so out of hand Confined to what they understand. The listeners will make it fit As they alter it quite a bit. All that such people can perceive Must mesh with what they now believe. It confirms the advice divine, Don’t cast the pearls before the swine. It does not mean you should not cast, But look for those among the vast. Remember there is still the few Who love the pearls as much as you.

Cast Carefully
Give me a long time to waste. Give me a long time to think. Give me some good food to taste. Give me some good beer to drink. Give me some good **** to smoke. Give me a lady to squeeze. Give me a good ***** joke. Give me it all if you please. Give me a hot car to drive. Give me some good drugs to take. I'm feeling like I'm alive. I hope this is no mistake. Give me the ability To see my True Self anew. I ask this most sincerely, For asking is all I do.

Just Asking
The volcano began to spout And the natives began to shout, "Throw a ****** in To stop it again." (And we won't lose a girl who puts out.)

Limerick- Why A ******
In illusion my thoughts abide If from my True Self I do hide. And all the things I've ever tried Have never really satisfied. I want to know why I was made And why do good things always fade? How far from Truth's path have I strayed And to What have I often prayed? What lessons have I still not faced? On what thoughts are my sorrows based? To what end do I make such haste? Why on this earth have I been placed? Truth always has the brightest rays But ego shades with dreamy haze. I want to make it through life's maze. What is it that sees all the ways? The answer must be something more Than anything I've known before. How do I open up that door Between the silence and the roar? Be still and see that all things clear. All that I think is what I fear. Each present moment is so dear. I love what Life teaches me here.

Doing The Best That I Can
For pity's sake Give me a break I can still fake Being awake What can I take Things I can't shake I've had my fill I will just chill Get a new thrill Okay I will Can't pay the bill Here I am still Playing the game Living my name Nothing too tame Feeling no shame Placing no blame This is what came Part of the play Hear what I say Or go away No, you can stay At least today Things are okay Connect this dot Less cold seems hot "We'll see" means not Nothing I've got Matters a lot I've lost the plot I cannot feel This is all real Need a new deal Turns of the wheel Layers to peel Harder than steel Changing the view What can one do Play peek-a-boo With that called you Now's always new I think I'm through

Flap Trap Rap
Oneness writes the "play" of Life; Every script, every role, every line. Oneness is the producer. All costumes are its design. All stages are built by Oneness, The props and the intricate sets. Oneness does all of the casting For the "roles" that Consciousness gets. Oneness is all of the actors And That which is "viewing" the show. Oneness is both, knowledge of Truth And That which pretends not to know.

ONENESS
Just go away is what I say To you right now and everyday. I know you only want the best, But just for you and not the rest. Oh ego can't you stop and see You're no part of Reality. No matter how real my life dream may seem, The only truth is that it's a real dream. The scariest part that you might find true Is what's so for me, is also for you. What's Real dreams the life, ego calls its own. Ego's a short term Reality loan.

An Ode To Ego
If only I'd taken more drugs in my youth, Maybe social fibs would seem less like truth. I might care less about things that I've got If only I'd smoked just a little more *** Would my mental state cease being tested If only more mushrooms had been ingested? My ego now might not be so finely honed If only I'd spent a lot more time ****** This world might not seem so sorry today If I'd spent more time just blazing away. I dislike the world with commercial lies, If only my drugs had been super-sized. Don't break the law because that can be tough, But it you do drugs, then please take enough. Don't want your concepts to be exploded, But you can't know straight without knowing loaded. Cultural values might seem less uncouth, If only I'd taken more drugs in my youth.

If Only
All that is present, at least what we see, Is just a small part of infinity. We live out our lives like scenes in a play, But the audience too has lines to say. If others determine what you will do, Then you aren't in charge of what you call "you". It is all one show, though massive it's true, But all of it's made by them, me and you. What are you thinking of the very most? For you that subject is your Holy Ghost. Focus your energy on what you choose, But love all the light, not just certain hues. Quiet your mind so you can clearly hear. What you're afraid of is losing your fear. Pretend what you will and live as you feel, Yet ask to be shown what is truly Real. Your needs alone determine your task. The answer is in the questions you ask. We are all One or we would not be here. The Truth is within, not far but so near.

What Is, Is Everything That's Not Too.
