    my former friend brought a present that horrified me
    it made me so sad, it was so old, i wanted new,
    it was tattered, torn, quite disgustingly ancient
    grubby, thumbmarked, twisted, bent and forlorn
    now why would a friend give such a disgrace
    how can i go to church, even show there my face
    there some words on the front i can nearly discern
    something like original manuscript someone has writ
    making it look worse than ever, disgusting, i quit.

    A free mind is a mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing. Most people spend much of their time looking for reasons to be offended. An open mind is never offended because it is free of any attachments. It is never the self that is offended but always the illusion that the self has of itself that is affected by insult! If you can really understand this, deeply grasp it?s truth, live it each day, then pain will be no more. Next time you ?feel? offended look closely within yourself at yourself and ask yourself what was offended? If you remain aware you will see that it was only an image of yourself which you had become attached to, and that image did not resonate with the image contained in the insult. If you weren?t attached, if you didn?t identify with the wrong image of yourself then there would be no offence taken. You would then remain free and therefore happy.

    A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.

    There are rows and rows of beautiful people
    Beautiful to look at, beautiful to behold
    I fall in love again and again
    They move into my heart
    They move into my mind
    Listen to their chatter
    Listen to their talk
    See their laws, they are our laws
    See their lipstick, it belongs to me
    See their cloths, that label is myn.
    Lord our God take this Love away
    This is not the Way.
    Grant us our looking glass
    Where darkness is light
    Where individuals know what is right.
    Let this world hear your law
    Let this world remove it self from it's course
    Let our compass and book be removed
    Help us to set a new course.

    drink the given water from your own well for it upswells
    to eternal life, not resting in your own understanding
    but let what you have taken in of bread be enlivened
    enlightened by that refreshment to reflect what is written

    i wonder if could that be sounds good to me
    the floating of minds in a philosophical sea
    no anchor no sail no purpose set free
    to be carried by whim or idiosyncrasy

    the wise man from afganistan presented his piece followed closely by turkey, iran, england and greece
    the rest nodded sagely and sipped on their tea, shouting well done, bravo, great words and peace
    they patted their own backs and others as well bowing deeply, meaningfully, as their hearts swelled
    then went home to polish the mirror of vain opinion, another useless exercise in mutual deception

    they wrang their hands and they beetled their brows,
    what natural phenomenon has caused these bugbears
    it's got out of control, I'm sweating with fear
    what is becoming of my stocks and shares

    they threw out the bible disliking the way the God of the book was
    revealed page by page, being offended by all His power displayed,
    not as nice as they thought, they were left dismayed

    but the problem is that they have faith that still lives
    and they still need a god to receive all their praise

    so they cast about looking among other religions
    for one that will satisfy their own opinions
    failing that they will have to sit down and devise
    one themselves, that will gaze on them kindly
    from it's place on the shelf
