Uplifting Poems & Inspirational Poetry
Excerpted from
The Elusive Here & Now
Food For Thought
Sometimes we whine
Gripe and complain
Singing the victim’s
Familiar refrain
Blaming the world
For all that’s wrong
Each new day
The same old song
It’s a trap we crawl into
A place where we hide
Keeping our spirit
Stuffed deep inside
Somehow forgetting
We determine our fate
That the life which we lead
We chose to create
Each decision we make
Each thought we embrace
Affects the complexion
Of the world we face
If our food for thought
Is a negative meal
That is what
We will taste as real
If we dwell on anger
Injustice and pain
We’ll tend to attract
More of the same
If we suffer, hopeless
At the mercy of all
We are the ones
Keeping us small
Placing the blame
On somebody else
Puts the solution
Outside of ourselves
Recognizing
We are Source
Awakens the captain
To master his course.
