The nine tribulations have been effaced
Life and death, I accept with grace.
One moment flies by in a hundred years
A second thought to missing the mortal trials.
The wishes of thousands falling on deaf ears.
Oh what it must be like to be the innocent in the dream lit world of the mortal sovereignty.
Instead of dealing with the world crushing weights of the 9 heavens and 188 hells.
How nice it must be to be a mortal filled with wonder.
Unlike my ageless cold immortal husk,
withering away in the cold heavens.

How often are we led
Or manipulated to see others views
Convinced to go along with things
That we wouldn't ordinarily choose
We need to take responsibility
For the life in which we all live
Ask more questions when things don't seem to fit
I could wax lyrical about everything we perceive
But the truth is
When you don't buy into what it is they sell
Then just walk away and leave
Rather than following other people's dreams.
