The Powerful Translation

Are we just trying to
get to another
side
shifting for our
own,
puzzled by what's not

And yet it seems that
as a
mass
we are fickle
That between good and
evil be systems,
infinitum
of how to
live...

But behold one precept
so engaging as to
define the
prose of
immortality
And not merely to live
forever
but to
thrive in
blissful perpetuation


One that, with truth
pedals 
on the road
to all findings
of unlimited
worth
One that trumps
all the hands
life
has dealt
And that affliction
tends to
avert

A word not diluted
with debaucheries or
ill-famed
mannerisms
Where the roots of love and kindness
sustain their
translation

May we all seek that one...

...may we all define thus, charity.

We do shift our deeds and thoughts, trying to find THE ultimate way of being.. that's what people do who ultimately want a calm, sweet and smiling life. It's being comfortable in one's own skin, knowing right from wrong without being robotic - somehow. Fine words, well put .. worth returning to. Thank you.
