THE ROAD TO AWARENESS

The road to awareness

So rocky and long

Twists and turns.

It’s uphill and downhill

And sometimes it flips

And if you don’t move, it burns

Your feet.

There are times when you think

You’ve been kicked back in time

And you’re pointed in a strange direction.

And the forks in the road

And the weather ahead

Makes null the next selection.

The only good thing 

About moving along

Is that sometimes you find

A partner in crime.

And you find that your steps are coordinated

And both of you are aware.

So along this path you become educated

And then a creative pair.

The message is clear

Our task it is written

The responsibility, I must confess

Is to make sure the path

Is well lighted and smooth

So others might find awareness.

Now we do it through song

And we do it through prose

And we teach by taking part

(As we grab lost souls 

To hurry along)

In the mighty creative arts.

Now I write the songs, 

And you write the play

For the players to sing and act

And I see in my vision

Our success one day soon

And that is a matter of fact.

So until that great day

We will continue to work

Through success, difficulty and setback

‘Cause if we persevere

And keep plodding along

And truly stay on the track

No doubt, now, no doubt

They will flock from far and wide

To come into the theater and see what’s inside.

And when the curtain is drawn 

After the last line is spoken,

We both will be beaming with pride.

Success is measured by the paradigm change

And how much of it we can uncover

And the awakened will stand

Together hand in hand

Because the future is now

A beautiful ride.
