Your Own Razor’s Edge

Growing is a bitch at times

To advance from adolescent ambition

To adult

To senior

To…

Well…

What is beyond?

Razor wire and experiences’ casualties

Make for incentive

But…

Where might it take one?

Spiritual without religion?

Religion with compassion?

Finding one’s way?

The journey may take you

To the “Be Here Now” gift.

However…

India and a guru

May not work,

Economics in rule.

But…

Listen to the Guru within

The voice that will utter directions.

Perhaps even

Answer.

But today…

It is becoming much harder to

Be here now,

To listen,

To hear,

With all one’s senses,

Above the noise of societal demand,

“listen to me,'

I’m the commerce voice,

The one who without your knowledge

Will take you into a courtroom

Of your mind,

And like a tainted trial,

Exonerate you of all your ineptness,

Honor your guilt,

Strip you of any integrity,

Rob you of any compassion for others,

Promote your thinking only of yourself,

As you fear 'you' are the only

Person that matters."

Oh…

To be pulled to the side of humbleness

Where listening to a humanist’s credo

Will give you peace,

Might be an anomaly beyond your scope.

How?

How?

What’s next?

Far too many are uttering in their sleep. 

We all own our own Razor’s Edge

Proceed with care.
