the path to enlightenment

over-worded
underscored
bits and bytes are
making me bored

my mind has swallowed
my peace within
my intention’s crumbling
like a drunkard on gin

how i drank away my sorrows
and smoked out my pain
standing idly
in the pouring rain

transcendental matters
where i once did believe
appear now like capsules
from drug-dealer sleeves

and love apparently
the crowning glory
watered down now
by hollywood story

dispossesed of
meaningful angle
creative pursuits
effectively strangled

sure i can jump and
dance with glee
in fact it’s quite easy to
make people love me

but harder yet
to stay inspired
to stay where i am
and not get tired

perhaps i overspent
my faith
at summer parties
kneeling at heaven’s gates

and now i’m dealing
with the aftermath
a bloody world
and undefined path

i’ve said it before
and now again
inspiration is the key
so give me ten

somewhere in this dark
hole in my head
silver-tinged wisdom
refined from the lead

when i feel no inspire
when malfunction the soul
when shorted the wire
when i’m feeling real old

give me ten of them
- inspiration keys -
none of the bullshit
none of the glee

none of the ridiculous
tribal pride
like nationalist fervour
forced to take sides

but god my buddy
set me up one-on-one
jah my love
show me the sun

darkness

you knew it from the start,
like the patterns in the stars –
these are tests for the heart.

and though the day of judgement
is frought with misunderstanding
it rings a truth eternal:

the heart that beats in your stride
an attempt to heal, to open wide
this is love greater than pride

indeed that day will come
where you lay down your sword and bow to One
and let your sorrows come undone

these are tests for the heart
and when your Will feels torn apart
let your mind restart

(indeed it’s time for us)
to reboot the situation
if this world is any indication

and while it’s true we’ve gotten somewhere
it’s safe to say we’ve yet to bear
the scent of the purest air

these are tests for the heart, indeed
a growing love, a growing need.

this is our journey into truth
living love and tasting fruit
to learn that struggle is moot

and suddenly, what will appear –
is that the scape of God so near?
come to judge or set us clear?

oh my glory, lord have mercy
i tried my best, i’ve fought the worst
and here i am in nature’s herse

i’ve known it from the start my friend
the lord to guide me, my soul to tend
with this truth, i know no end.
