Cause/Effect

An old man dark as the blue found in the midnight sky

drowning lost in his fifth too poor to live too proud to die;

born in the midst of a generation amuck, the blessing of his skin

the curse and reason for his string of ill luck.

A child white as the driven snow fallen from the sky

with blood cold as the silver spoon in his mouth & ice of his blue eyes;

death follows his words which like a wizard he commands

as innocent lives get taken by his forces before which none can stand.

A woman with heart broken like a glass shattered into shards,

tied to a string of failed relationships which have left her with bitter scars;

her view of men infected like her womb from bad seeds she’s allowed to enter,

a reflection of her mother who abandoned her one dreadful winter.

An artist on a quest for life trapped in heroin’s circle of lust

all alone even in concert halls where his sound the world begins to trust;

sobriety eventually came into his life allowed his vision to become clean,

meditation crystallized his consciousness and led him to discover a love supreme.

The Mind beyond space and time behind existence which arranged all

ordering the cosmos into patterns established by the wisdom of divine law;

protecting creation from its inception so that it comes to bear it’s reflection,
providing its creatures with a covenant to embrace so that they can come unto perfection.
