Personal reflections of perspectives.
We wear our actions; we wear our lies.
Hidden behind business gains and many market lines.
Debts made carried forward for others to bear.
With death we finally embrace our fragile lives.
And we depart leaving our baggage behind.

The world should embrace wisdom before life ends.
Leaving multiple karmic debts, enslaving the next generation.
As beggars, we leave our mark for none.
The result is the utter destruction of life.
And we depart leaving our legacy behind.

Sure, we have dreams, but corruption isn’t treasured.
A better tomorrow is based upon right actions.
We are all sadly lost without true love.
With shovels we fill our bags of gold.
And we depart leaving our impressions behind.

We wear our facades hidden behind blank faces.
Tears shed often dry into nothing at all.
Broken dreams and the best intentions are embraced.
We use slavery through twisting laws and reason.
And we depart leaving our thoughts behind.

Only by the use of good common sense.
Hope can be kindled for life to continue.
Can you be proactive within a reactionary construct?
Its always too late before we finally act.
And we depart leaving our bags of blood.

Let no one’s life lost be in vain.
Our true wealth is found in life itself.
Not by hording everything else imagined and realized.
Would you rather not help the next generation?
And we depart leaving our grains of sand.

Death isn’t a reward; life is the solution.
Love is the reward; hate must not rule.
Forgiveness must be applied by a loving heart.
Would you rather leave absolutely nothing at all?
And we depart leaving our actions spoken aloud.

Sure, Christ had indeed died for our sins.
But should our sins be carried forward perpetually?
Common sense along with common rules must reign.
With many shackled hands and blind eyed stares.
And we depart leaving our deeds as gifts.

Our planets a sacred repository for much life.
We have many needs and too few solutions.
Can you build a wall without bricks and mortar?
Building society upon the backs of dead people.
And we depart leaving our legacy of ignorance.

One must rule over all, taking absolutely nothing.
God deserves this gift in appreciation for life.
Each life upon this planet is a brick.
Every right deed and action is the mortar.
And we thus depart leaving behind our intentions.
