IN THAT VACANCY OF EXISTENCE

do you wish to change your life?


you'd need to destroy everything you are

to dispel the illusions of self

that have kept you chained

to your mistaken sense of self


and in that vacancy of existence

there is no one but you


even God will leave you there to suffer

since God's decree is to teach us with suffering


if Jesus could scan the empty sky from his cross

and say 'Father why have you forsaken me?"

are you really deluded enough to think

your ordeal would be a cakewalk?


endure this and your life will change your wish
