Humiliation

How can you stay content

Around you the world laments

Resources are nearly spent

Demanding sensation neglecting the strain

Imagination concealing the pain.

How will the race survive

When passion has been denied

Disorder has surely thrived

Creating the gurus who lead you astray

Infatuation has no place today.

Don't say that tomorrow can't wait

You can only debate

On the rightness of being"wholesome"

But nebulous notions contain no depth

When right means left

We fall through the clouds

You talk of expanding the mind

Now thought is refined

And there's room to explore your freedom.

But somewhere inside you a small boy cries

Controlled by lies

Are dreams made of this

How can we stay content

Around us the world laments

Resources are nearly spent

I spoke of forgiveness my heart full of pride

Humiliation can turn back the tide.
