sticky wheels

wheels

within wheels

lies

within truths

truths

within lies

good intentions mixed with fear

create a sticky sneaky web

the power suckers and the fact seekers alike

get stuck on it

beneficial endeavors become corrupted

because human hearts still hold onto forms

and fear the loss of control

but the original pure knowledge is incorruptible

it shines golden for those who search for it instead of the forms that try to carry it

they know there is no boundary that can encompass it

and no power that can control it

Dusty Road

Walking down a dusty road
Beside the everyday people,
You saw their despair and reached out your hand.
They followed you for a while, and you healed their diseases --
Walking down a dusty road,
A dusty road.

When you spoke of a better way,
The way of Truth,
They turned away from you and left, empty-handed.
You stood there holding life in your hand,
And they went walking down a dusty road
With what they could not let go.

Just a phantom of you was all that they could do,
And the phantom went walking down the corridors of Time.
He never looks the same,
But they always claim to know him –
Walking down a dusty road.

You stood there
At the intersection with a street of gold,
But they went walking down a dusty road,
A dusty road.
