God Looks On Amused

God Looks On Amused

The Self bobs and weaves

Like Mohammed Ali in the ring

I am not here to fight

Although fighters surround me

Love conquers all

So I smile whimsically 

At their attempts to overpower me

Silly asses… their insecurities 

Close off access to their wisdom

So I sigh and move inward

Humanity is One with Creation

They like to pretend they are better

Better than what? 

We are all matter

We are all energy

We are all equal

In the eyes of the Divine

Priorities are lost on me

When the scales 

Tip awkwardly

Midgard is reality

Samsara surrounds me

Tangible space keeps me grounded 

To the spaceship Earth

Buddha once said

Blessed is he who knows

Samsara and Nirvana 

Are One

I try to seek that truth

I wanted to be blessed

All too often I fall short

Short of temper

Short of patience

Short of self acceptance and awareness

I inhale contentment

I exhale exasperation

People like wars

What a sad state of reality

If they cannot control you

They seek to kill you

Such are the sign of the times

Governments crumble 

Greed and envy cause pain

God looks on amused

Silly buggers those humans

Taking this all so seriously

I rest in my cave

Emotionally exhausted

Wondering what’s to come

Seeking the wisdom 

Of the prophets of compassion

Concerning the web of relationships

Which span the globe

The ignorant cover their ears 

To the cries of their victims

Blaming their victims

For their own pain

As they bomb them unmercifully

Back to the God 

Who laughs at their folly

We are eternal

We are United

We are Self

When we deny others

We deny ourselves

Freedom is a gift

Given us at Creation

Use it wisely

And bless us

Everyone

"Silly buggers those humans"...couldn't be said any better. How well you describe a pathetic dance. Can we save ourselves? Heavens to Dickens, only Buddha knows...

Thank you for your words.
