How many ways can we squirm in revulsion
With limited access to factual data?
Which belief system has shown resilience
As mendacious talk leads to insults?
Hard to discern what this harvest will bring


The boat is adrift on a current of popularity
Collective unconscious choices
Drive connections into shallow territory
Corrupt motives go unnoticed
In a sea of mediocre aspirations
Hitting bottom is inevitable


Unwilling and unwitting,
Populations trudge along
Taking no heed of conditions
Trying to avoid at all costs
The damage being caused by denial
Returning to dissolve potential

If waves disrupt your peaceful rest
Remember that transformation requires
Destruction and abandonment
Of all your outmoded styles of perception


No certain amount of praise or honor
Can quench the never ending uncertainty
Brought by the desire to be admired.
It’s entirely enough to be present in full
No need to vex oneself chasing approval


Darkness takes the lead in this race
To the coldest place in the imagination
Stretch your thinking to catch a glimpse
Of all the overlooked aspects of shadow
Cast your gaze on the dark spaces
That reside behind the projections


Some teach you that you have enemies
That people who don’t know you
Are working to sabotage all your dreams.
Isn’t it much more likely that
You are the source of all your conflicts?


Choppy seas and deep tremors disrupt
Our calm steady outlook
Internally boiling
Rising to the surface
Tsunami warning


Tides turn every day, following the moon
The forces that surge ahead
Eventually, predictably reverse course
Every wave is different
Many not suitable for riders


Timeless truth survives collective madness
Refined good taste abandons consumption
Stripping away the needless layers of greed
Leaving behind vain glories of excess
To reveal graceful details once overlooked
