With the gate swung wide open

Poem:

With the gate swung wide open To not walk though Is absurd Cosmic consciousness is a solution For every problem in the world They are easily erased as if they were all Just in the Mind It is very healthy for the Brain A nice full recharge Eating healthy food is overrated But people look for something tangible To point to as correct It is still necessary but how about every other day. Your bones should be protected by muscle And body seems to be programmed for a certain amount of action. Buddha says to control the mind you need to be strong like an Elephant trainer. “to be a trainer of Elephants, one must possess five qualifications: good health, confidence, diligence, sincerity of purpose, and wisdom. To follow the Buddha’s Noble Path to Enlightenment, one must have the same five good qualities.” A whole book I could be writing but aren’t books for the bourgeoisie? Poems are for real people and better with a cup of tea. A Poem might come out of a charged presence. You don’t have to be Ralph Waldo Emerson up in Concord to be America’s top SEO blogger.
