Energy Drain

And refuse to coast

Struggle and fear

Create the stress

That debilitates our system

Leaving our life a mess

Being tired and bored

With so many things to do

Has us crying out

For something novel and new

Living life in a rut

Is no big surprise

When we surrender ourselves

To so many lies

Is it any wonder then

That are kids are irate

Feeling lost and uncertain

And in some cases hate

Energy can be directed

For good or for bad

But a dose of ambivalence

Really makes us sad

No wonder our energy

Leaks this way and that

Without an inspired vision

Our motivation is flat

Breaking loose from this loop

A vicious circle indeed

Takes focus and commitment

And planting a seed

With much care and attention

And the sunshine within

Our seed of commitment

Is where we begin

While safe toys for kids

Seem like a logical choice

Living with passion

Will make them rejoice

Instead of overprotecting them

As we sometimes do

Let’s keep our kids safe

While it’s excellence we pursue

Much schizophrenic research

Addresses chemical cures

While the effects of misdirected energy

Are not entirely clear

An unbalanced system

Will cause the distress

Whether physical or mental

The results are a mess

True Creative Power

Can be accessed and used

And before too long

It will transform you

So what is the Secret

To plugging this leak

And focusing our energy

On the dreams that we seek

Living each moment

And being aware

Will access our Power

Keeping our energy clear

There are no excuses

Once we understand the key

For a life of abundance

Is waiting for thee

Being alive

In so many ways

Directing our energy

For work and for play

No energy drain exists

When we turn on our Light

What was once a dim image

Is now suddenly bright
