Faces Of Atman

Poem I wrote after reading the Gita. Here is the music: https://markmoosemendoza.bandcamp.com/album/faces-of-atman-single

Plastic words,
Disgracing thee,
Solemn dirge,
Song of apathy.

Musing opposing nature,
"Will we make it?"

Battle ancient,
Ancient and sacred.

Step forward,
Raise your weapon,
Claim what is justice,
In this cyclical realm.

Plastic words,
Disgracing thee,
Solemn dirge,
Song of apathy.

Step forward,
Step forward,

Those true to I,
Will be born no more,
With Divine eyes,
See all my forms.

Faces,
Faces,
Faces,
Of Atman.

too much "I" will always impede the "we"--
and their words will be no more than plastic bandages on an "I" sore.
