On a Journey through the sands of time. / Searching hither and thither for a good rhyme. / Some are sweet, some are bitter, and some taste like a bite of lime.
Light and Darkness Most of us assume Are equal and opposites. But In reality, Light and darkness are opposites but they are not equal. Light is a physical entity While darkness in the mere Absence of light. Likewise, Love and hate are opposites but they are not equal. Love is real While hate can only exist in the absence of Love. Likewise, Truth and falsehood are opposites But they are not equal. Truth is a fact While falsehood is The omission of the truth. Love and Truth are the essence of the Divine. Hatred and falsehood are the absence of the Divine.

About Coco
God once asked his faithful servants a perplexing question: *“Who will lend me a Beautiful Loan Which I will double And multiply many times?”* The servants looked hither and thither and at each other in puzzlement: *“What could we possibly lend to The Creator Of mankind and of the unseen Of the Earth and of the Heavens And everything in between?”* But one among them wept in tranquil delight For he understood what was being asked: *It is the act of giving without expectation From ones material wealth, From ones precious time, From ones accrued knowledge, To alleviate the suffering of others*.

A Beautiful Loan
Some bow down in prayer frequently But all they get is tired Some indulge in fasting punctually But all they get is hungry Some go on a pilgrimage repeatedly But all they get are selfies Some donate generously to charity But all they get is vanity Some read the scriptures literally And all they get are 'dos' and 'don'ts'

Blush
There once were a group of flies They wished to hunt for filth no more They wished to hunt for the light instead Like the regal moths during the night So they went to the queen of the moths And said: “*We're no lesser than your moths So please permit us to look for the light*” The queen was amused, and said to the flies “Go forth then, like my moths, to find the light” The flies went forth with great delight And with eagerness they found many lights and returned to the queen to report their finds. But they found no moths were waiting there “We’ve outdone the moths!” they said in delight. “We’ve found the light, while they're lost in the dark” The Queen was amused and said to the flies: “*Those who only 'look' for the light, return to me, Those who truly love the light, are consumed by it.*"

Of Moths and Flies
Dark clouds are gathering ominously above They cast a murky hue into the air around Infusing into the heart a sensce of gloom They threaten to unleash torrents of rage Mercilessly shredding those in their path. Will my roots stay true against their rage Or will I give in to their relentless pull Will I remember that torrents don't last Once the clouds have spent their load Will I remember that beyond the clouds Is the shining sun with all her warmth Will I remember that the clouds will part For the bluest of skies, bright and calm

Unproven theories boss over Science Science has become the new religion Religion has become a hub for hypocrites Hypocrites want to become our leaders Our leaders want to pillage our land Our land is stripped bare of its wealth Wealth is now worth more that people People are abandoning their intelligence Intelligence is now becoming artificial Artificial is sold as though from Nature Nature for most is ‘as seen’ on television Television encloses our new reality Reality thus, has become devoid of Passion Passion that we need to find the truth The truth about ‘what is’, and ‘what is not’.

‘What is’ and ‘What is not’
A man once came to a teacher of great renown And asked… “What is the greatest function of a teacher?” To which the teacher replied… “To Motivate” “But surely” the man replied... “The greatest function of a teacher must be to teach!” To which the teacher replied… *“If I only teach them all that I know, Then they will only learn all that I know, And think they have learnt all there is to know. But if I motivate them to seek knowledge, Then they will learn all that I know, And still thirst for more; much more than all I know.”*

Have you seen the Master Magician around lately? He who shows you a mirror with his right hand While he picks your pocket with his left hand He whose tongue tells you tales of a bogeyman As his eyes induce you to part with your keys He who wears the most beautiful of masks To hide the psychopath that lurks within Have you seen this Master Magician around lately? He who will empty your pockets and ask for more He who will become the master of your home He who will convince you: “its all for your own good!”
