Egipto



Egipto-


Why do I feel like I’m still in Egypt?-

In a dry land; I am a stranger looking for my purpose-

Am I still in Egypt?-

In a world filled with distractions-

Where being busy is the new human-

Like the levels of a pyramid-

What level is the one to success?

The top one?-

Or is that actually the beginning?-

Everything is upside down-

Distinctive perspective is a distraction-

If lost in a desert, would you drink any water that finds you?-

What lessons do I still have to learn?-

 What don’t I see? Or am I choosing to stay blind?-

The Source is everywhere,

 and nowhere at the very same time-

My thoughts, my beliefs, my programming-

Egypt is still a part of me-

where I learned to be of substance...

In a dry strange land-
