I have travelled over many lives and lands.
immersed myself with fellow man.
Absorbed all words and actions shown
got lost, got found. Got tossed and broken
learnt the lessons as my soul once more woken.
Seen power in the hands of misguided spokesmen
inequality in a world where there should be value
for all men, women and children
irrelevant to another colour, home or religion.
Watched in wonder at nature reaching out so wide and up so tall
watched in horror as some broke the laws and then fall.
I know there were prophets pushed down to the floor
by sleepers grabbing for superficial rewards.
Heard birds sing their songs
watched babies being born.
Seen sunshine in the morn
and death after dawn,
The love and the wars
i have witnessed it all.
Surely now we should all know
the true journey of soul.
How we can lift up and grow
free from life's negative overloads.
