the reasons why you aren't happy with your life

i hear conflicting
thoughts

on why we suffer, why we aren't
right,

whole and good
with the world,

with life.

it's not your job, your
kids,
your husband or wife, no,

it's attachments
to things, and people.

another pair of shoes just
won't cut it, bub.

it's control, no wait  minute

every problem
is a spiritual problem.
get on your soft knees and pray.

it's because we haven't
surrendered.

i listen to hawkins, and gannon,
the catholic channel,

eckhart tolle.
i have a book of quotes from
Mother Theresa,

and Oprah.
does Dr. Phil know?

Buddha, maybe, let's see what
he has to say.

do it my way and see
they all shout,
buy the book, the seminar,
the week

in Vermont with real
maple syrup and pancakes.
mediate, 
take salt baths, 

free your mind.
the truth will eventually,
maybe not today, or tomorrow,

but in time,
give it time, it will
set you free. 

you'll feel better about
your screwed up life.

you may even elevate,
fly gaily on
a magic carpet and never
die.
