THE MESSAGE c.1989 mahaksadasa

Bound up by confusion, drowned by the waves.

Blinded by my envy, left sightless by the haze.

Surrounded by many armies, embattled by my fear,

Will I ever get the message, do I have time to hear?

 

 

I don't seem to get much pay, every day I waste at work.

I act the fool, and follow the rules, treated like the jerk.

I've seen the clues, and I'm about to lose, I know the end is near.

Will I ever get the message, do I have time to hear?

 

 

Friends turn out to hate me, treat me like I'm nuts.

Religious folk all shun me, their rhetoric I don't trust.

I'm accused and convicted, my eyes are filled with tears.

Will I ever get the message, do I have time to hear?

 

 

I've heard of One Who loves me, picks me up with gentle hands.

He lives in an Exotic Place that i have yet to understand.

The purpose of my life is to serve and love my Lord, so dear.

Will I ever get the message, do I have time to hear?

An older lady I know told me once, "I taught all my kids and grandkids to play cards."

 

"Oh, really," I politely replied, nonplussed.

 

"Do you want to know why?" she inquired.

 

"Sure, why?"

 

"So they'd learn to cheat," she told me.

 

That left me stunned. So, *that's* the key to material success, I realized. That's why I've never "gotten ahead". I'm too proud (or scared) to cheat.
