Buzz

Hear the buzz
Do not disturb
The hornet's nest


Don't cross the line
Where right turns wrong
And tact criminal


The path is set
Each to a fate
At many fork roads


There will be time
For frustration to blame
Guilt and regret


Be steady now
While you are here
Mix and mingle in grey shades


Yet black is black
And white is white
Feast appetite with peace


Drink your own cup 
Lest thirst breeds poison
In avaricious strides


If you must live
Live a good life
Evil is loss of ease


If you must die
Die for a cause
Bigger than you


Beyond human laws
Of right and wrong
Innocence seems weary


Guilty until proven
Innocent or whatever posture
Swings the other way round


Do not cede to temptation
Insidious violence grins
Control is in vain


Walk then the way
That middle path
Where life is found


Live simple substance
Beyond the sad buzz
Of cynical hypocrisy


If cynic or skeptic fits
Yet be true to your soul
For earthly days are brief


Do not be afraid
For fear is a trap
For the wrong reasons


Live with stern love
That your days somehow
May be a blessing


To each a precious gift
Given that you may
By choice give to live


Seek then and be bold
Walk the narrow path
Where grace funds love


Do not let fear
Make you feel lost
Life springs hope eternal


If you must pray
Be beyond reason
Let faith fund fest


Make your words simple
In poise, choice and voice
A simple prayer echoes:


"Thank you God.
I love you God.
Show me the way."


Simplicity is subtle
Plain and effective
A cause that works


Then rest your soul
Cast off your burdens
Be enlightened, set free


Beyond cause and course
Truth speaks sternly
For beauty is pure


No need to worry
Just feel happy
As you can be


No fuss needs no buzz
All things happen
For a good reason


Be content
With being
A becoming
