The Mirror of Life

Ain't the world a mirror
Glass panels are our minds
I say you are bad: I am bad
You say I am good: You are good

You see God: there is God
I see no God: there is no God
The Guru says not to smoke,
not to crave, I suffered in silence
The Guru got nirvana: died of cancer
God knows who is the judge

Love, hate, fight, crib, do any
Good will see good, Bad will see bad
Others sit on the fence, who will go
with the good or stay with the bad
Do not know what to do
Is nature perfect, humanity divine!

You, me or they, can anyone judge
Yet we be the judge: claim as ours
Those who fear and can't be the judge
they go to the judge created by us
who sits in court in judgment
on things which can't be judged

Ain't the world a mirror
Glass panels are our minds
I say you are bad: I am bad
You say I am good: You are good
