I Am Not Frightened of Enlightenment

I AM NOT FRIGHTENED OF BEING ENLIGHTENED

My load has got to become lightened
My sodden Saturdays and Sundays should be brightened
And it’s not even an eventuality of being frightened
It’s a matter of my being enlightened

Every morning men arise to work another day
I, on the other hand have the dope man to pay
Lest I limp and crawl through to another night
While chasing dope to fight off Mrs.wants to fight

“Good morning sweetie, how did my honey sleep?
She wanted a description as to if it was lighthearted or deep
Even as I slumber like a sloth climbing a tree
In my sleep I know it’s time for me to flee

I know enlightenment might provide enough insight 
But running gauntlets and out of luck just ain’t right
I ran out of explicit patience and she out of generic hope
And  if you must know that’s why I keep chasing dope
