you just don’t get it
you just don’t get it
the many times
that you have
bumped your head
hasn’t made you
any smarter
because you keep
finding that
same ole wall
and bumping
your head
even harder
you keep traveling
in the same circle
hoping it will
become straight
not realizing your
own fate
is on the direct
line
time after time
you persist to
carry that baggage
on your back
thinking you standing
upright
but your bent over
and that’s a fact
you talk the talk
but the walk ain’t real
so you continue to feel
the need for happiness
but
that steady bump
on your head
is leaving you characterless
your body
is your temple
it’s just that simple
but you fail
to learn that lesson
so you keep on
banging you head on a wall
and traveling that circle
missing all your blessings
filling your holy place
with poison and grime
wasting your time
trying to find
something that’s
already there
seems like
you are scared
to let your
divine shine
manifest
so you search
for it on the outside
in a world of
hopelessness
desperation calls you
and you run
right toward it
head first
don’t that bump
on your head hurt?
ain’t you tired
of being sick and tired?
don’t you want
to be free
of misery?
i’ve come to
innerstand
that the divine plan
is not your way
you’d rather stay
in what you think
is a comfort zone
but it ain’t comfort
at all
it’s just a fast fall
into despair
and the glare
from that
can be harmful
to your eyes
cause you
to go blind
that’s right
blind to the facts
this is not an attack
upon your existence
it’s just a mention
of your counterfeit contentment
in hopes that you see
how complete
you can be
when you stop
bumping your head
on that wall..
