Be Yourself You hear it all the time Be yourself Just be yourself Be who you are It is the answer But how on Earth Would you Do That?		Meditation I went to sit In the present moment In the present moment And while I waited It was there At last it came While it was there And then it went And even though it's here I can't wait till Next time

A Cheap Toy On my birthday God gave me A cheap toy As it unwrapped I became mesmerised With all the things it did When it clicked And jumped so high My spirit soared And when it broke So did I String and glue do help it Limp along But I'm always nervous And ready to Hide the tears		What can I Want? Peace is peaceful But war is all the rage So what can I want? Beauty is beautiful Yet as I advance Ugliness becomes its mockery Wisdom becomes fouled With ignorance And poverty taints The promise of wealth What can I possibly want? When babbling gossip And meditation Are one

A Good Life There are some wonderful opportunities Here Said God Look around and Jump in For a good life Of course If you want to fail And question everything I can arrange it It's up to you But think about it A good life Can last a whole life If you believe it If you fiddle around waking up You could spoil the happy dream Of a sound sleeper		Spiritual Advice The tiniest bit of Spiritual advice Is immediately null and void It's advice against What is How can you advise for Or against The only thing going? It's true Spiritual advice is itself what is When it is As a wafty idea And unmanifest Even my advice that This is this Urges you away from Reality But don't worry It's a step you Can't take

Prove it to me   I read a book by Ramana Spelling truth and love So obviously And another by Nisargadatta That rang with the real Jolting me to the core I forgot what they said Now And I'm back at my antics But if that's perfect And I don't know it Why couldn't they do better And prove it to me		Tiny Birds Chirping In the trees Tiny birds are chirping Those of the same feather Sing the same song Intrigued I asked for a translation There's no meaning She told me But it must be said I have the same problem I chirped As you can see As you can see

It's too Late Everything happens Before you know it That's how everything happens And when you get To know it Like now Like talking about it That too Happens before you know it You exist But when you look You don't It's too late		As if you Know As you mature And grow older You don't realize when you Start to lose it But you never had it So carry on by all means As if you know Everything

A Flying Jump I am the greatest Said God Not And I am the most humble Not too The real truth is the lie That I am everything And nothing And if you doubt my authority Feel free to take A flying jump		Unconditional Love You would think unconditional love Something special But it's nothing And everywhere It looks on everything As it is As you look now Love is nothing because Nothing is singled out For comment Or even recognition It comes prior to It's opposite And is so perfect It can't tell the difference Between itself And Everything

Not not it That That you are Looking at And getting ready to Decide against That that Is not not it Leave it there As it is As you must Whatever it is It's so not not it That it's the it You wanted All along		Injustice The fight against wrong Must go on Choose your cause And fling yourself into it But please Not everyone Injustice takes manpower And dedication Too
