A white twirls at rhythmic beat
life is revealed on earth's seat
figurative tombstone sways on head
had removed the black cloak of the dead

Head whirls independent of feet
Dervish dance, a spiritual feat

Dervish whirl and twirl
away from the ego swirl
rejoice, it's a dance with your maker
the prejudiced have you dubbed a faker

Feet twirl unconcious of head
Dervish dance for spiritual sted.

To a heavenly maker, united in a chant
the ego dissolves with a musical recant
prejudiced are those intolerant practices
push what formalized religion expresses
man thinks he evolves as technology advances
in actuality he regresses.

we depend so much on technology

I saw the sadness of that in hurricane Ivan...no food or water, no gas for cars, no power for cooking or running computers, no getting money from the ATM, cell phone services down, etc. It was a disaster.

But people find out, in something like that, what's really important, when they lose their material possessions and have to live without the things they've grown comfortable with, the things that make life easy...

family and friends and simply surviving
