Something

Something inside arises and says we can't waste anymore time.

It says I can't waste anymore time, I can't let this flesh decay

before the spirit inside it has learned to fly.


Something inside is overpowered by the pain of the past,

by lust for the dreams of the future.

It says I just want to sleep, I just want to go numb.


Something inside is inspired by the fact that lust and pain

did not kill it, and says again `I must learn to fly'.


Something inside is growing learning forgetting

walking to the light, falling to the ground,

will it learn to fly in time?

Bhuddist Optimism

Bhuddist: `Everything in the universe of mind and matter is suffering.'

Other guy: `Oh, come on. There must be something you think is good about the universe.'

Bhuddist: `You're right, there sure is!'

Other guy: `What's that?'

Bhuddist: `There is a way out of it!'

Choices

Maybe we have made all our choices before being born, and are here only to understand, after a lifetime of fighting against them, why it was a good idea to make them.
