Poem

Our human concept of this earthborn lifeIs so intrenched within our every thought,So fortified by error's daily strife,So carelessly and yet so deeply fraughtWith trivial things that only turn our praiseAway from truth and love and liberty,We do not see the lighted lamp of Love,We do not feel the urge of Spirit's claim,We have not learned the righteous way to proveThe unreality of mortal aim.
