Poem Number 112 - Painless Virtues - 12/6/1986

There is no excuse for us to live happy,

There is no excuse for us to die and go to heaven,

It’s just so true,

And that is what we all go through.

You can’t have a beginning without the end,

You can’t have an end without a beginning.

The only thing you can have with sacrificing,

Is the middle: which represents your life.

There is no guess to what your life leads,

And there is no limit to what you can plead.

Relax and think of what, of whom, you’d like to be,

So that the way and direction, is in front of you.

Don’t get stale, by setting yourself for jail,

For you will be through tremendous amounts of hail.

Be extremely popular within yourself,

For the endless results will bring fortunes in your way.

Unresisting your brain from painless virtues,

Will rainbow a colorful pattern of you,

So that peace of mind endures,

And you can walk yourself, to Mother Nature’s pastures.

Be vigorous with enemies of one’s past,

And you’ll realize that life doesn’t go that fast.

For you will retort, for the kindness of your real friends,

Of who will never send you, going round the bend.
