Earthly Matters
I'm a guest in this earthly tomb, just one of many
inhabiting fleshly rooms
We've come to a place where the flesh is doomed
until our ascension when the soul's exhumed
We're consumed by earthly things but don't realize
that we're used for food
Some are confused by material dues but the All
protects both wise & fool
Applying pressure only builds the ladder that can
surely be used to rise above
Manipulation of this pliable matter is easy to see
but only viewed once you've unplugged
Some struggle to see even though eyes are clear
as blinders were added to obscure the view
Understand these blocks are a series of boxes that
are meant to contain the whole of you
Since the day you were born, they've had a hold of
you & stay attached with invisible chains
Once you see that binding can be easily broken
the way you see life will quickly change
