The World As It Is
We live in a maze
Each of us trying to dig out an existence
This world is harsh
Digging its talon like fingers
Into our minds.
I look around me and see some seemingly floating through life
Though this is just my perspective
We all feel love, pain and joy
On this spiraling axis called Earth
Each of us hurled here for a purpose
Not knowing what that purpose is
Maybe it's to open the hearts and minds of our brothers
To reveal some hidden secret unknown to our infantile brains.
I've learned many hard lessons here
I've bashed my head against the walls of this tunneling maze
More then once thinking I could make my own door
Plunging head first into a unbreakable wall.
So many diverse people
Each of us unique
Seeing things differently
Though we all deserve respect
Even the homeless person on the street
Who may have been born
With a broken and torn brain
Screaming at the skies
Emploring the creator
Why was I given these shoes to walk in?
I dont have the answer to these questions
Just an open heart
Searching, seeking the answers.
