The Game Of Life

And not entirely clear

Moving through space and time

At such a rapid pace

Blinds us to much

That we have to face

Stories and myths

Do provide some clues

But there is a hidden element

That remains out of view

Struggle and force

Hinder the way

True wisdom appears

When we are at play

Taking things seriously

Is what we’ve been taught

While it’s the opposite direction

Where Peace of Mind is sought

Fairy tales and fables

Abound in our schools

While the truth of the matter

Is hidden from you

So much conditioning

And false beliefs

Cloud our perception

And make us weak

Scotomas or blind spots

Within our view

Cause us to see

Things that are not true

Making decisions

Based on illusionary facts

Lead us to believe

That this is the only way to act

Sacrificing happiness

To be proven right

Is just another trap

Hidden from sight

Concealing our power

As well as we do

Is no easy feat

And takes tremendous energy too

Acting as if

We are victims of fate

Is a guaranteed process

To keep us second rate

This Human Game

That we have chosen to play

Has very specific rules

Though not on display

Help to remember

The things we once knew

Is not to be found

In any traditional school

Bits and pieces

Of true wisdom and knowledge

Is not anything I learned

When I was in college

It takes effort and time

To seek out the clues

And the place to begin

Is right within you

Because contrary to most

Opinions and facts

There’s a Holographic Universe

To which we react

Blaming others

For things as they be

Neglects the vital issue

That they are all aspects of me

So even though the Game of Life

May be puzzling to some

There does come a time

When all this does becomes fun
