Moving the Night
Moving the Night
In the darkness they stood waiting still for the dawn
Thinking that inaction would shift them to be reborn
They wanted so much more yet unable could they see
To lift the blinding shroud they had to do more than be
Work is for the labourer, the poor fool and controlled
It is not to be respected and it is never to be extolled
Avoid it at all costs for it will only bring pain and harm
Deny it when it is offered while sitting corralled on farm
Freedom of mind is not to be found staring at the floor
Looking out windows dreaming of finding open a door
A calm mind may be the goal and many sit cross legged
To end upon the street shouting for mercy they begged
There are things to be done before the lights will go on
Situations considered, actions made and reflected upon
Movement in the darkness to search to switch the light
That illuminates the mind and provides the needed sight
Will we ever move together, will there ever be the unity
Will we ever discover truth of inner and outer community
Standing in the middle but wanting to live life on edge
To have the rewards of risk but the bets are on a hedge
The night will come and go and when the sun arises
It will be seen who worked and who the group comprises
In the light of day will there be a change better for the all
Or again will same be, the empty of heart standing tall.

I sometimes wonder how you come up with all this content. I find writing one article quite difficult even when am motivated. How then do you manage so many?
It is simple. Write. The more you write, the more you will explore and one thought leads to another until you are in a place that is unfamiliar but connected to all you have ever done and that place will lead onto places that will be all you will ever do. People limit themselves by trying to be correct.
I like it. Very much in unity with what you've said a lot about lately. Deep man, deep, but a great one
When I read this content..i summon my courage because it gave me hope about the day and night... I became to imagine how I can manage my time and achieve alot then to do what is not necessary..
Look at this sentence.. (the night will come and go and the sun arises it will seen who worked)...according my point of view this means that you should not gave up whatever you're passing through you going to overcome it one day..
