When we dare to direct our destiny we are celebrating by acceptance Of divine intervention in our affairs.
When we dare to attempt flight The air grows lighter and we are buoyed aloft By protective winds that reveal our direction If only we take the time to feel it upon our face And recognize and follow the voices That were once only siren songs Submerged in our subconscious.
It is only through trialed enlightenment Man cane expect to tap upon the source Of his creation. Committed to open the door to develop his destiny Acording to his role in the universe.
A few grains of sand, created with the ability To harness the conceptions surrounding his mortality. We must believe in the directions of our destinies Risking everything search for the meanings Underlying our personal truths in Nature's harmony
We return to church for that is where most sheep dwell- And begin to disrobe the Shepard’s shadow Before all of the sheep are devoured not by half truths But- by self sustaining lies- As we question why the priesthoods have become The thrones of oppressors of the body, Mind, and spirit of eager innocents.
