In times of discontent Some pious tears a closing eye requires The soft quiet of near repent Escapes the mind of worldly desires As threats of pain & ruin bring compromise Thrown together in thorny wind Thoughts run south into orange hellfire Where carnivorous lairs spawn subtle sin Masked in righteous, godly, attire Until the self can no longer recognize So slyly can a mind be swayed Treading broken trails of life's decisions Those slippery slopes of daily choices made Manifesting as good & evil subdivisions Where confusion urges the mind to self-despise A difficult twist this thing called life The supreme energy moving every direction Some creator has taught us to look inside For this is the shelter of supreme connection The kinetic kiln where all love is mobilized

Upon Slippery Slopes
In times of discontent Some pious tears a closing eye requires The soft quiet of near repent Escapes the mind of worldly desires As threats of pain & ruin bring compromise Thrown together in thorny wind Thoughts run south into orange hellfire Where carnivorous lairs spawn subtle sin Masked in righteous, godly, attire Until the self can no longer recognize So slyly can a mind be swayed Treading broken trails of life's decisions Those slippery slopes of daily choices made Manifesting as good & evil subdivisions Where confusion urges the mind to self-despise A difficult twist this thing called life The supreme energy moving every direction Some creator has taught us to look inside For this is the shelter of supreme connection The kinetic kiln where all love is mobilized
