Great Escape

Gurus religion and spiritual leaders encourage us to kindly

Reflect on meaning and soul for the sake of compassion

Existence before essence takes another stance on ethical life

As Sartre lies in his grave his message stands firm just the same

To heal confusion and balance dysfunction with a humble mind


Eternal infinite and impermanent uncertainties challenge 

Serenity and the pedestal may threaten to be a garrotte

Calling for honesty and moderation in the face of defeat

Anton once stood at a crossroad with a noose round his neck

Pondered persecution death and the illusion of prison 

Emblazoned by provocations of doubt he had a great escape
