Sleep stupor continues through waking state
Feral instincts to surface gravitate
We stumble and fumble as though in trance
Life spinning out of control, left to chance
Fears and desires making us agitate

Make no mistake! Thought patterns our bondage
Narrow spirals, our innocence ravage
We call it discipline, in truth stupor
A far cry from our childhood joy caper
Low ego cravings, compelled to assuage

Life whizzes by pursuing illusions
If we but pause, we gain liberation
Endowed with free will, we are free to choose
Light or darkness; our life, so no excuse
Are we awake or merely sleep walking

Yes! Fantastic message, Seeker. Great contrast of what we can become, or God forbid, we've let ourselves become -- with all the wonderful better choices from which we can select. Love this poem! Cheers, Gershon
