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
