As you sit amongst the pains in life

As you sit amongst the pains in life

Filled with fear and horror and strife

How is it that one can know?

Just exactly how past the ego to grow

The sages say that it starts with love of friends

But know dear friend that is not where it ends

In truth this is where it begins

Loving your friend as you do yourself

Though it’s hard to imagine in and of itself

This is truly creations plan

Brought to us by those who dared to stand

In the path of truth and unconditional love

Something in this life that you know nothing of

But to bound together as one man one heart and one soul

As to your friends you truly extol

As you connect to them and fulfill their desire

With no thought to self this is how man raises higher

So do your work deep within

Using faith above reason you will begin

To raise man to the next state

As you sit before the creator eating all he placed on your plate

Only together can we make a difference in the land

Only together can we truly make a stand

Just as the creator had planned
