The Awakening

To demean and defame the successful

Is the unspoken rule of the ‘outspoken’

Wrong it is not, to be an opportunist

Slander another for the chance, is the way of the atheist!

 

To scale great peaks, digging another’s grave

Is the path of cowards, not of the brave

Structures so built on the dead, would not ever be strong

Plastered and cemented as they are, by many a wrong.

 

Chasing fame and fortune is a life lived in lust

In doing so, the soul you have permitted to rust.

To accomplish these you’ve committed in plenty, perjury

Reckless in your goal, you’ve caused your fellow beings, brutal injury.

 

Rise, Oh ignorant man, heed the little Voice that does you beckon

While life’s yet with you, or else, you’ll have to reckon

With insufferable pain, agony, remorse and regret

When the Call comes, this world you’ll leave in debt.
