O what a useless waste of flesh I am! -- A man with no ambition. What is worse I laugh at it and do not give a damn,-- I have no conscience, pity or remorse. I loathe these words – sophists’ inventions That do not mean a thing. This time I have accepted that there’s no redemption For those like me, and furthermore, no crime. From this day forth, I praise my selfishness! From this day forth, my will is my command! I’m made of dirt and I despise embellishments, Watch as the roses whither in my hand! I am that homeless with the toothless grin That seems to stand out in the morning havoc. I lead a life of excess bliss and sin, And what is more, I am extremely happy. A scoundrel, a vagabond, a leech – I am the man you read about in novels. The hungry soul the Church just couldn’t reach, Who spends his nights in cheap hotels and brothels. The world is on the verge of its demise. The war to end all wars is now in progress. I see it all inside your tired eyes. You play your roles as those predestined actors. Each step is by the book. How I adore The shuffle of your feet, the rush-hour traffic! I am the only man alive, and what is more, This very day, I am extremely happy.

When we realize that we are all this, then we are climbing fast on our Path towards full awareness. What might seem useless in our reasoning, could well have great significance. Margherita |

If you are "extremely happy", then you most certainly must be doing something right! lol  To know thyself and still be happy, is a gift! EA |

I loved it! To be selfish...embracing the fact that at the end of the day if you were happy...then something has to be right! Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind... |
