come to terms will take generations,a new horror for entire nations.
Compensation, whether full or half,
once more, it’s all about the golden calf.
Only what has room in our minds,
also has room in our lives.
Oh the horror - so many people still must think of war.
The world will follow them through this door.
What you think today will happen tomorrow,
it will be so hard to assuage this sorrow.
People think, yet God does guide,
by this maxim in life we should abide.
If you cleanse your heart,
the pain of the past will finally depart.
To heal your head through your heart,
come out of the past and make a fresh start.
Thoughts can be very strong,
what you think can come true before long.
Finding peace in your heart,
aspiring to do so, must be the highest good in this world,
before it falls completely apart.
To love your neighbor can be a fight,
first you must set your own heart right.
But if you prefer in life the easy road,
just make sure that love in your heart’s been sowed.
Love over the long run surely will
your heart with light also fill.
People should love themselves much more,
then we’d have only peace, not war.
Being able to forgive is often tough;
and our own mistakes are common enough.
Yes, in the depth of our hearts, we can unlock
and let them rise up like a peacock.
In to heart a shadow they cast,
the real pain is vast.
No one can break another’s heart,
we are cause ourselves of this part.
Dishonesty lets the peacock in our heart live on,
and sing its song.
But if you give the peacock enough light,
he won’t find the shadow of the night.
The journey is the reward,
it would be a miracle, if no one ever tripped on a board, even his own board.
The important thing is: falling’s not a disgrace,
but you must keep the light in your heart in place.
If everyone themselves would forgive,
where would the guilt end up - it could no longer live.
The cross, our shoulders need not bear,
it’s just the light that is not there.
If the peacock were not in our heart,
then life would not tear us apart.
But thanks dear peacock, that in us you dwell,
you show the shadow the light as well.
If only one could shine right through you,
that’s something many people would do.
The solution to the riddle is easy to share,
you twist and turn like a little bear.
If we don’t want to understand the truth of another,
the light in the shadow we will smother.
The lamp - yes, we hold it in our hand,
to create shadow where we need it, that is grand.
Whether you say cross, peacock or bear,
we make our lives hard for ourselves out there.
Did not Christ hang on the cross,
because of a stab in the heart he left us.
The cross, the peacock, and the little bear,
no one was the wiser there.
He did not die with his heart quite,
because there is space for the eternal light.
The path he showed us is really not steep,
but sometimes our thoughts are just not that deep.
The heart should be lit from 360° to the center,
then it would be impossible for a shadow to enter.
We’d all be happy in life, no doubt,
if we never needed to go round about.
If we listen to our hearts more,
those detours in our lives won’t be such a chore.
Because - be sure - no one’s banished to the earth, as long as he sees his path and its worth.
04 | Striving for more
We are always striving for “more,”
it’s just the golden calf we’re looking for.
Our energy is gone,
we don’t feel newly born.
Stress is not good for a healthy life,
yet we’re sadomasochistic and look for the strife.
We need the torture to know we’re alive,
such is humanity’s latest drive.
Be it a buck or the golden calf we chase,
