MEDITATION
to endure betrayal without betraying your
own soul
to live a life that is sacred where virtue
is wasteful
to be generous when scarcity is all I experience
to listen to the inner strength where corruption
and
compliance is god
to give when disparaged, abandoned and cast
out
to forgive when not freed from blame or -
to let go when cursed or hell-bound
to love when forsaken and
to cherish when imperiled
to be alert where ever vigilance is absent
to meditate when dismissal is all that surrounds
you
to relinquish whilst demands crash and shatter
your
spirit
to surrender at the time where battles besiege
you
to be tranquil when chaos and Pandemonium
heaves you in inferno so vast and remorseless
is all I want in me
and pray for
though I am godless
