“Soul Expedition”

“Don’t ignore God, for it’s the universe you rob…”

As I stand here thinking about which path to traverse

About whether to pursue this masters or write poems, lyrics, and verse,

I dream that soon our purpose as humans will be revealed

That our souls will be healed

That our hearts will be fulfilled

No time to think,

we work to drink and sleep away our lives

The elders tell us we won’t buck the system if we’re wise

But something deep inside my spirit tells me otherwise

We all want to be better, to live with genuine passion

It’s just that bills and fear of poverty keep us from taking action

Lulled to sleep by momentary bliss and daily comforts,

we let our dreams slumber

while inside creativity thunders

To stifle it is blunder

And still we do so it’s no wonder

why our souls hunger

in this world full of plunder

Why do we let our knowledge remain trapped inside?
