Often we are so accustomed
To being comforted by darkness
That when someone pours forth
Beams of light into our eyes
We canot help but be blinded
By the sudden surge and seek
Refuge again in the arms of
Darkness

It is understandable. It is okay
We do not have to accept
The whole sunshine at once
Take it in slowly, steadily
Accustom ourselves to a world
Of light with only a shade of
Darkness

Gradually but definitely we will
Find that we are glad we
Opened our eyes to the brightness
Instead of seeking shelter
Inside the frigid abode of
Darkness

Karma is an accountant
Who keeps detailed records
Of all human’s debits and credits
And then goes out of her way
To balance the books

It is clear, as far as I can see
That if this world was created
By a superhuman being
He didn’t do a very good job of it

Consider the proposition: if
He was employed by a company
Would his boss look at his project and say
— “That’s a masterpiece
I couldn’t find a single flaw in it”?

This world is flawed
Life is more and more about survival
And less and less about happiness
It doesn’t matter which life I am talking about

Plants fight for more sunlight
Animals kill each other for food
Humans deceive each other to climb the ladder of life
It is a dog-eat-dog world


A masterpiece?
Flawless?
Nah, far from it
If the world is flawed then it cannot be made by a flawless creator
If the world is flawed then the creator must be flawed too
Just like the rest of us

A beauty she is; a beauty she is; a beauty she is
A deity she is; a deity she is; a deity she is

She moves like a breeze
The flowers turn her way
To offer her a kiss
A beauty she is; a beauty she is; a beauty she is
She sails through the seas
Glides through the air
Her each step amazes
A deity she is; a deity she is; a deity she is

She’s a song in motion
With long, wavy hair
And rose-coloured lips
A beauty she is; a beauty she is; a beauty she is
From ocean to ocean
When she comes to play
Along with her winged horses
A deity she is; a deity she is; a deity she is

A beauty she is; a beauty she is; a beauty she is
A deity she is; a deity she is; a deity she is

I see the world through it
It helps me interpret it

It lives inside of me, guides me
Shows me what is right and wrong
Leads me to the chosen path

It handles tasks I am incapable of
Digests my food
Regulates my temperature
Circulates my blood
It takes care of me

It knows all that I have ever done
Everything that I have ever seen
Heard, smelled or spoken
Every good deed and bad
Every mistake and achievement
Every joy and every pain
It remains by my side

Without it I am nothing
With it I come into existence
