OH GOD LET MY SHADOW CEASE

 THEY kept speeding and listening to the din outside 
Never stayed still to listen to what comes from inside 
Became restless and stressed during the ride 
But 
THOSE who were awakened by their inner voice 
Enjoyed the silence and peace away from the noise 

THEY kept dreaming of possessing all they saw 
Couldn't resist sense desires drooling with awe 
Their needs multiplied they were never satisfied 
But 
THOSE who remained content with what they had 
Never felt  unfortunate jealous unhappy or sad 
 THEY kept hoarding selfishly all they possessed 
Even connived to grab others shares instead 
No amount of what they had was ever enough 
But 
THOSE who generously gave away all they could 
Spread happiness and joy and felt so good .

THEY lived their life imprisoned in ego and greed 
Went to any extent to make others hearts bleed 
Ultimately it was they who fell face down indeed 
But 
THOSE who honored  integrity humility and honesty 
Lived a life without fear preserving their dignity 
 THEY loved with expectations to be fulfilled 
When not as expected their joy was killed 
Love lost its charm giving way to conflicts 
But 
THOSE who loved unconditionally without expectations 
Understood and accepted happily without frustration 

THEY could never reach the shore despite all they had 
Possessions made them heavy that they drowned instead 
They never let go ego ,attachment ,lust greed and rage 
But 
THOSE who lived a life of  love content  and sacrifice 
Flowed effortlessly and reached the shore of paradise 
 OH GOD !!! bless me to be THOSE and not THEY 
Give me the wisdom to follow your voice and pray 
Catch my hand  tight don't let me go astray 
For 
Then only can I become love bliss and peace 
Become one with you so that my shadows cease
