COMMON ILLUMINATION

oh the anger rises daily

at times unwanted or asked for...


and no more than enduring

the clumsy mistakes or the deliberate evils


of others or the self...it hardly matters...

when one has achieved even rudimentary


awareness of our Oneness

what good the vicious psychosis of hurt ego


that hurts itself most in hurting others

or the righteous anger of the pointing finger


preaching obvious truths as its weapon

of ego in service to a false idea of holiness?


it's pointless to rage against the world

and become one of its evils in the process...


all agony of love twisted in a rage of compassion

and compassion scorned


all Oneness a yet unrealized sum

in these dank terrors of unconsciousness


so frustrating as it may be

the angers rise daily...subdued then by the joys


as we stumble on to what we shall be

entangled in everything that was...
