Humiliation

I will become even more undignified than this,
and I will be humiliated in my own eyes.
~ 2 Samuel 6



How can you stay content?
Around you the world laments,
Resources are nearly spent;
Demanding sensation,
neglecting the strain,
Imagination concealing the pain.

How will the race survive?
When passion has been denied?
Disorder has surely thrived
Creating the gurus
who lead you astray,
Infatuation has no place today.

Don't say that tomorrow can't wait,
You can only debate
On the rightness
of being "wholesome"
But nebulous notions
contain no depth,
When right means left,
We fall through the clouds

You talk of expanding the mind,
Now thought is refined,
And there's room
to explore your freedom.
But somewhere inside you
a small boy cries,
Controlled by lies,
Are dreams made of this?

How can we stay content?
Around us the world laments,
Resources are nearly spent;
I spoke of forgiveness,
my heart full of pride,
Humiliation can turn back the tide.
