The Leader of the Way

Trust not in the silken words of men

But rather in the silence seek the Self,

Lift up your heart and raise the silver cup

Empty of all desire that it may fill

With golden soma streaming from above.

For all our moral rectitude how far

Have we advanced towards the burgeoning light,

Where is the kindness and the words that heal?

Desire and greed for power rule our lives

And the sound bites of our leaders substitute

For truth and meaning beyond the reasoning mind.

But in the cave of the collective soul

There burns a flame that brighter grows each day

For man shall overleap his pygmy self

And God become the leader of the Way.
