What Blocks my Mind this Time?
I see a poem, it's clever yes
But I am displeased with the way it ends.
A man wished his life away.
I'm used to stories that go hip-hip-hooray
And this man wished his life away.
Why take tomorrow for today?
It makes no sense, I cannot say
That I would ever advocate such
Incredibly dangerous play.
This life is to be lived only right now
It's the cat's meow
The sound of love.
AHA
I'm attached to this life.
Still it causes me strife.
I have found much bliss
But still I know this
This life is not all that exists.
The endless Universe expands
And I am just a man
Caught inbetween here and...
The awesome land
Where fields of godly poppies bloom
Expanding into lotuses soon
The cows there talk
And the women
Keep me glued to Earth.
How do I reach escape velocity?
How do I become a star?
How do I, I, answer me my guiding Self.
Let go of it all.
Even the desire to go far
Or to go no where at all.
Let go of thought
Let go of feeling
Let go of wishful believing.
Simply experience
Life for the first time
Through unblinded mind.
It is here you will find
Past the reaches of time
An eternity always inside you.
Stay for a while
Meet Jesus and Sarah
You will soon, I hope that doesn't scare'ya.
