SPIRITUAL BALANCE
Years of poverty and hardship cut very deep,
even haunting us when we lay and sleep,
we work very hard to escape its claws,
but the damage in our hearts remains in its jaws.
We find a job and save for rainy days,
life has crushed us in so many ways,
the users in life have broken our trust,
trying to make sense of all that's unjust.
We have a hunger that is never filled,
a part of us that seems to be killed,
from observation it would appear as greed,
but this gluttony has roots in a far deeper seed.
We need to find some spiritual balance,
bringing peaceful calmness into our reliance,
to find the treasures of joyful serenity,
the fullness and pleasures of tranquil divinity.
