The Gist of It

The tragedy that befall us Are brought by the human hand They say ignorance is bliss And for that this seems the land All this can be reversed Given this right state of mind Happiness does come from within Just try it and you will find It's us who controls our behavior Not shame, pride or guilt We all live within the walls That in our heads we built It's intellect over emotion To thine own self be true A lot of people don't get it They haven't got a clue This poem is to bring awareness To those who do not know If you seek it let me help you A sacred path to you I will show You must first die unto yourself Be born again in the lord Follow the teachings of the Bible In this your heart must be poured Never wander from the path Follow it day and night To learn it open your mind And life will be outta sight
