Not all is what it seems

What is possible May not be probable

What May feel good May not be good

Not all is what it seems

As this should be understood

Your wisdom in life

Will be tested many times

What are the rules you live by?

What was the punishment for the crimes?

Adopt or learn a moral ethic

Something tried, tested, and true

Live by this code that you stand for

Make everyone know this is you

This task will not be easy

Mistakes will be made along the way

There is a reason we have forgiveness

The opportunity to make good on another day

You will not be forsaken

The losses will be fewer than the gain

Do not be fooled by the rhetoric

Much of which is in vain

How do you measure the sorrow?

Trauma induced suffering

The most pernicious malaise of man

How do you measure the sorrow?

Ask the Buddha if you can

Emotional scars are lasting

Intelectual scars can be treated

But it will take much effort

When the soul has been depleated

There are many who live in quiet desperation

Sometimes they do not even identify

Only the courageous will discover a path

Just how many will comply?
