Life's Blessing's

Joseph Ernest Jr. 1989 (Tacoma WA)



-Life's blessings -
©®

Shoulder to shoulder, held down, none bolder
Like time has stopped but I'm still one day older
Try as I might the fire in my mind's eye still smolders!

Crimes against humanity, conception of such deception drives a mortal man in to insanity
Unjaded, I will enact the plan that is inside of me,feed this unrelenting hunger that is driving me

Not a day goes by that I don't feel the ever present weight of the world upon my shoulders, still that fire smolders, not once have I questioned if there could be a better holder

The perils of the world on the forefront of my mind, the karmic balance that we live by is so clearly well defined despite the sands of time you couldn't hide it from the blind. life's blessings.

Blinded by the shine of this world as I depart, Corrupted were the minds of the masses from the start, despite all the worlds advancements withheld were the answers from our hearts

Blinded to all to that is life's blessings, we couldn't see them for what they are, until we looked inside ourselves the answers seemed so far

We searched for them so far and wide, the stars, the moon, the great divide, amongst preconceived notions that still reside.

We turned to substances that laws denied in search of answers our physical world could not provide

The more we learned, the less we knew, we became departed from life's blessings. Fear not, seek and you shall find, its been spelled out in the stars, it was written in the sand, the answers that we seek lay in the palm that is our hand! Life's blessing's!!

Life's blessings abound us, unwoke we could not see,the harder that we looked the harder they were to see. Unbenounced to me, nothing would I keep until I first gave it away.

I found life's blessings  in what I could offer, not in what I stood to gain.
I let go of attachment, the chains that bound me to this world, the "dukah" that kept me stuka.

Dukah, Hindu for suffering. attachment to a physical tangible item as a source of contentment= suffering

As humans we soon tire of our current desire, only to trade it for the next shiney thing in wich we further anchored our dukah, our suffering and reinvest in our prolonged agony.

Once we change our sole source of gratification our suffering, our chains.. that is our misperceived Sense of self we will finally see our wrongs in perception and find ourselfs inside ourself...perceive yourself, perceiving yourself.....being perceived! Then one can finally see their eternal soul as separate from their current physical body, their current incarnation

Take to heart my words and no sooner will you find, the spiritual principles I describe will restore sight unto the blind!!  Life's blessings...
