I will hunger and thirst no more

not play the fool like I did before

nor suffer all I cannot endure

in the name of some merciless god


I will be free of all illusions

detached from my own and everyone's delusions

sidestep all the earthly confusions

deeply abed in the transforming sod


I do not care whether you believe me

your pious fakery cannot deceive me

face your own path while the ground that receives me

swallows up all of life that we so value


so it is we are left with what is true

all of us dismissed whatever we do....
