How Can Life Leave One so Alone

How can life leave one feeling so alone and sad?

How is it that all the efforts are so egoistically clad?

All the efforts put out are to find the truth

As each and every rock is turned over like searching for a broken tooth

It’s like all the searches are in the wrong places

As the search continues through all the small spaces

And right at that moment before the searches end

That is when we discover the friends

A friend to honor, respect and trust

To feel the friends desires and carry them out with lust

Lust to fulfill all that the friend needs

Not something accompanied by greed

To hold their importance high and not condemn

And bring it to that point where we wish only to serve them

To love your neighbor as you do yourself

This is the hardest thing to do in and of itself

So make a Rav, and buy a friend

Find a group and truly blend

Nullifying the ego with intention for the goal

Bringing it back to, one man, one heart, & one soul

Only in love will all be corrected

And the rest of the world, already reflects it

Who are your friends?

From the destruction

From the destruction of the second temple

The fall Israel suffered was all but simple

As it was the deepest descent that all have been through to date

You see this fall was from love to hate

This level of exile is deeper then as ever been seen

And all of Israel must now rebuild their screen

But to do this first one must find love of friends

As on this any progress depends

To make your friend more important than you

One thing for sure that you can do

All the love that you hold for yourself must be condemned

As your importance of friends makes you wish to serve them

Holding the rule of love your neighbor as you love yourself

Is the hardest thing to follow in and of itself

But try with every effort that you can find

As you make yourself a Rav and buy and friend for all time

And submitting to the group where you allow the influence

In this place all must be in congruence

As you study together each and every day

Trying your best all discussed is in an internal way

As you try with all your might to acquire

All of your friends desire

So you can fulfill them as if they were your own

For this is the method that we have been shown
