This poem was inspired by the word of Dr. David Hawkins.
Viewing the state of humanity
there seems to be some stages
as we entertain insanity
quite often it enrages
us to think we are separate from the source of our existence
and we find ourselves in Shame
feelings of misery rise up with persistance
and we have only ourselves to blame
we feel Guilt for being who we are
and feel like we’re never enough
with our very souls we constantly spar
and the battle is very rough
hope becomes a distant dream
as we play out our lives as tragedy
and due to our lowly sense of self esteem
all we embrace is Apathy
mired in our suffering
we live our lives in Grief
the burden of existence is smothering
and there seems to be little relief
that life will ever improve
we find ourselves in Fear
down the path of growth we want to move
but the way is never clear
wanting more than we’ve had before
a new life we Desire
picking ourselves up off the floor
we try to lift ourselves up higher
with the state of ourselves and the world around us
Anger starts to build
life continues to confound us
as we try to feel fulfilled
struggling to improve our lot
we begin to find our stride
and though we often still feel distraught
we also begin to feel Pride
wandering through the ups and downs
ourselves we still disparage
our miseries continue to compound
but we start to muster some Courage
we see glimmers of hope begin to shine
as wins and losses become reality
instead of only finding reasons to whine
we open to Neutrality
however life turns out for us
we start to realize our significance
rather than merely making a fuss
we participate in life with Willingness
whatever life provides
we receive it with Acceptance
we follow along as it guides
and begin to feel expectance
we start to see our journey as our evolution
and though we may never reach completion
we know there’s not a single solution
and we are able to entertain Reason
for all that life has to offer
whether it’s below or it’s above
when we realize we are our own life’s author
we can embrace our lives with Love
regarless of our circumstance
what we are given and what we are giving
we are finally able to advance
into the Joy of living
when we reach the point of letting go
when we let our strivings cease
when we don’t always have to be setting goals
we find ourselves in the arms of Peace
returning to who we really are
in this labyrinth of entitlement
the journey does not seem so far
as we realize the state of Enlightenment
however we may identify
from poverty to providence
what we think about we amplify
for what we are is consciousness
