What can people be –
When impromptu provocations
Directed and so dangerous,
Denounce unworldly wisdom
In this, the material kingdom?

What can family be –
When slanderous scorn and anger
Within marriage born on paper
Does infiltrate the lives
Of so-called husbands and wives?

What can friendship mean –
When material and worldly gains
Between seeming friends does reign,
And Selflessness is shunned aside
In favor of futile earthly pride?

What can humanity be –
When humiliating homage is given,
By the wealthy ones who govern,
To stagnant and starving subjects
Who’re less than political objects?

What more can life be
Than a learning to live with love?
So on Spirit’s egress to above
Love’s mastery will set them free
To reign the planes of eternity.
