Living In the Present

Do not complain nor wait to act 
Life is fleeting and abstract.
Leave behind your hurts and tears,
Trust your heart forget your fears.

Pity those who have not seen
Their inner soul that stands between,
This mindless world so full of hate 
That beckons men without debate.

Life is more then what you see
So listen to your own decree. 
Give your inner self the peace, 
And all the doubts you have will cease.

Hear the silence of your being
And you will find yourself agreeing,
That life is more then what you see,
So go on! Get going! start your spree.

Your dreams and hopes still wait for you
Your inner self will see you through.
Live for NOW and you will find
You will no longer feel confined.
