“Worldly Views”


“Worldly Views”

4/27/12

Insidious is this mortal test
unbidden not able to rest
none are doing their best
memories able to last
drifting unwanted past
nightmares to be cast
wherein no victory true
just envy avarice to view
casting sanely to the few
rope with barbs inserted
glass shattered sharp
none found very smart
none able to be converted
turning off the light switches
seeking séances with witches
playing in the dirt converted
arguments unable to start
unfurled without any hitches
life endures without ending
our test results thus pending
outer darkness descending
none are doing their best
unbidden not able to rest
insidious is this mortal test!

(Addendum:
Worldly views often seen
reflect justice as mean
thus on reality to lean
ignoring the eternal goal
forgetting to have a soul
worldly views exact a toll!)
