Teaching Livings Lessons



Within the mind and body that house the all knowing one
one soul called into being, will know all that there is
sense how warrant less is the teaching of all humankind
dress in learning what keeps life as a promise blessed.

When will the truthful answer to those questions poised
rise up to be accepted and in spirit light soon compose
for all humans being the clear and vivid living picture
life forever living in the bounds of one soul's victory.

Where is there this knowledge then, its above all given
overwhelming human's natural teaching so wrought by life
of past experiences commonly known living long forgotten
by each in life, who is without this gracious being won.

In birth, the living lessons of this life begin and cast
clarity into the fire, of each newly bourne youth's soul
confusion and loss of touch, life's beginning cast afar
away from peacem and lovem and life in true heavens home.

Life in hardship taught in death, teaching of times now
this realm of gracelessnessm society's unforgiving state
brutal bend in mind of menm driven greed to darkness bow
lifeless trolls reap in those, ignorant of soul's fate.
