On the urgency to wake up from the worldly slumber

Carrying all the load on the shoulder
Getting weary and growing older

Seeing life slip through the fingers
With only a sorrow that lingers

Running behind unneeded riches
That is only going to one day ditch us

Always focusing on what to become
Life it is that we are running from

Tormented by desire after desire
All the way till the funeral pyre

In frivolous gossip wasting time
Frittering away the days prime

Comparison and competition
The only drivers for all action

Never looking into one’s source
As a pointless life runs its course

Till the reaper riding the beast comes
And the worn out body just succumbs

For one cycle to come to an end
Only to repeat again my friend

So let’s wake up now and inquire
Who am I caught in this quagmire

And find out it’s just a phantom image
Dying to it the only true pilgrimage

Letting the one power run its show
Unperturbed by any high or low

Waking up to love that’s ever in season
A complete surrender beyond all reason
