Scandal

Good things come to a halt,

Being good is not good enough,

Truth with a pinch of salt,

The darker realm has you buffed,

Did you increase your threshold to pain today?

Not losing hope,

Virtues furbished with deceit,

Keep walking on a thin rope,

Its a given to deal with crooks and cheats.

Did you increase your threshold to pain today?

Pull together your spiritual strength,

Aiming at you a hobby, an amusement,

Lies and tales told at great length,

From the weaves and fabric of your life, you roll off this lint.

Did you increase your threshold to pain today?

Keeping your chin up,

Not let the poison frail into your spirit,

Your truth alone outsmarts,

Integrity and morality is your merit,

In a world where old values are demode,

Casting down your sense of purpose with bad notes.

Did you increase your threshold to pain today?

Looking into the unknown with zeal,

Knowing your good spirit the scandal conceals,

Over and over your work they steal,

On a radiant skin like a beal,

They appear to snatch and pass it off as their own with a seal.

Did you increase your threshold to pain today?

With not a single soul who understands,

As you are brushing away hair strands,

Lost in deep thoughts about life,

Ridiculous conclusions they derive,

To satifsy and cover up their squalor,

Indignation given the garb of a palaver,

Your grit has only truth and honesty to deliver,

Whether or not there is a single believer.

Did you increase your threshold to pain today?

When they laugh at your brokenness,

Constructed by them in unison and oneness,

Putting you down they harness,

Your sacred path of consciousness cares less,

You walk a clean path when they create the mess,

Winning through life’s complicated tests.

Did you increase your threshold to pain today?

The starting point to achieve,

True calling is not a rosy dream,

Good, bad, and grey shades you carefully sieve,

To keep going even if you are at the seams.

Did you increase your threshold to pain today?

A routine, a practice, to battle the unknown,

Like an unsung warrior from around the town,

Nothing can take your spirits down,

You have good to do, even when they frown,

To reach the helm of the Holy crown.
