My faith is tested
But not by the Holy One
My brothers and sisters of humanity
Are what motivates me to shun
I’ve battled deceit
All my life
Especially the lies of my own creation
It’s hard to walk a straight line honestly
With our values compromised by temptation

The cynic will embrace
The events that leave them with distaste
An emotional canvas
Now collecting injustice
No matter how faint
Places a stain on the soul
Of which this will taint
Open your heart
Open your mind
Resist the dogmas
That leaves you unkind

It’s not about being right
We are not the authorities of moral high ground
What matters is our actions
I claim this argument sound
The discovery of ego
Elude many it will
Distract and misguide us
The ego is a shill
The ethics in human behavior
Does not represent
Justice for the masses
In ignorance we consent

The poison of money
I’ve seen this first hand
Divide any loyalties
An addiction we misunderstand
This trade we make
Selling our soul to the highest bid
Doth not make us any happier
For any pro-quo quid
The love of mammon
The root of evil
Error of judgement
Pierced through with the many sorrows in upheaval

I focus on the present
I put the past behind me
I hope for the best of what will come
This makes it clearer to see
Make the “now” count
It is all I have to grasp and engage
I can’t change the past or predict the future
Attempting to do so will put my mind in a cage
Action only works in the present
No other time can we employ
This fundamental law of being
Can prevent our growth as we are seduced by this decoy

Oh Mr Jiminy
What did you say?
Let your conscience be your guide
Self-interest the cause for much of the foul play
An inner voice
A moral ethic
The superego
Sympathetic
Our childhood years
A crucial stage
In the development
Throughput our age

To do the right thing
And not know why
Is blind obedience to a good habit
We hope not to misapply
The many actions we take
Are not self- evident
Our failure to connect our purpose in action
The testament to the arrogant

When the tears came to my eyes
I knew something powerful overtook me
The tears were not for my sorrow’s
But for you in your time of need
The courage to forgive your past
Put behind you the blame and proceed
Refreshes your soul and cleanses you
The mind now in the present to exceed
The price we pay if we earn
The lessons in which we achieve
Are seldom given the attention
That will provide in our time of need
The strength of our conditioning
Contingent on the foundation that it is built
Is subject to tribulation
The source for much of our guilt
We bond to others when we care
We experience them as they are
We create a pathway to nurture
Trying to recalibrate to the North Star
We all need a compass
Our navigation is often upset
Be there for your friends and loved ones
We were once there lest we forget

But when the truth leaks out
And you wake from the dream
The words become different
The beliefs change in what they mean
The person you thought you knew
Were not what you thought
Leaving your eyes wide open
Leaving you in disbelief and distraught
Wanting to believe
Hoping for the best
All that we can really do
Letting time be put to test
I could have saved myself from the heartache
I could have asked for the truth
Instead I lead myself into a corner
Like in the games of our youth
…

I have a weakness
I am a trusting soul
Assuming others will attend to their shortcomings
Assuming others will take some control
I try to adjust the mistakes I make
My flaws I try to recognize
This is why I am forgiving
I comprehend this chasm when others surmise
