Our Social Obligations Continued.....

continued from "Our Social Obligations"

.... but, they were highly spiritual in their thoughts and conduct. These spiritual minded people might lack the ability or interest in practicing certain social norms that are practiced by the general population. The general public feels obliged to do certain things because that is how one gains acceptance in today's society. Anything that is not socially acceptable, is shunned. They may feel guilty for not carrying out their social obligations. But, why should they? They are people and they have the God given right to do what they please as long as they are not harming mankind or nature for that matter.
Our social obligations hold us back from reaching our full potential. So, next time you start feeling obliged to do something because of social obligations, think about it's implications on yourself. It is nice to keep everyone's views and opinions in mind when you decide to take a major step towards the "game of life," but in the end what matters is self (my sister gave me this advice).

Sing To Me

I am in misery I want you to sing to me In your songs I find ecstasy Your voice I hear in my dreams Like the morning birds Singing in harmony You give me bliss With your melodies Your every motion beckons me When your lips move, I can't breathe Its your presence that I always feel Like the moon, your face glows on me I'll give you everything you seek Just don't stop singing to me I will die of the pain I'll feel If you ever let go of me Your words to me are heavenly With you lies my destiny Tell me this is not a dream Promise me you'll never leave Don't talk to me about reality I find peace in fantasy Where the world is staged aesthetically Where we all live blissfully Where there's no death, no misery Where we all live peacefully Where there is no insanity Where the world is void of calamities Tell me you'll always sing for me So that I can find that land of dreams No more living in fantasy From dreams we'll create reality Give me that opportunity ...

Time

Years have passed away And I await the coming days The years were only a few days ago The next days will only be a few hours away I remember those hours of yesterday When I was young and carefree Sometimes I have to stop and wonder Where my next hours will take me People have come and gone Leaving memories to last a lifetime some have left a hole in my heart Others have left a light that will forever shine If time stood still, what would I see? If I could go back, what would I do differently? If I could change the future, where would I be? In this existence that we call life, these thoughts lead to insanity. What is insanity? Is it being a prisoner from the grasps of normality? Is it an escape from reality? Maybe it's escapism from leading a life of mediocrity No matter how I try to justify life, time will keep passing by Every minute Man enters this world, piercing us with His birth cry His life will be less than a speck of sand, considering the vastnes...

Divinity in Motion

Grass waving with the summer breeze Trees dancing with the wind Ocean waves hitting the rocks You wouldn't tell them to stop because Its divinity in motion A kiss from your mother Even one from your lover You would not want to miss Because its bliss Its divinity in motion The way a woman's hips sway as she walks The way her lips move as she talks The way she nurses her child Its all with a divine composure and smile Its divinity in motion Babies being born through a couple's love Growing up with the help of The One above Facing hurdles and breaking barriers Its the same qualities we all share Its divinity in motion When children grow Their aspirations show That their potentials are great The goals they set Its divinity in motion When the fighters fight When the singers sing When the fire lights When the bells ring Its divinity in motion Dancers dancing to the beat Soldiers marching through the street Swimmers swinging their feet When they all meet Its divinity in motion Whe...
