THE BLIZZARDS OF LIFE

I listen to Grover Washington, Jr. and am
lifted from the sadness I feel caused by
all the evil that exists around the world. 
 
I know I can find peace if I concentrate on
the sacred teachings, but meanwhile
this evil exists and blaming does no good
and observing others ignorance on
the whys and wherefores of its existence
just deepens my sorrow.
 
I wonder if life is to be this way. 
A solution is met with an objection
and nothing moves forward. 
Accusations without action
leave things at a standstill. 
 
What is the true King of us all going to do? 
We have been told all that is necessary
and it is up to us to solve these problems. 
Doing nothing is not an answer
Pointing fingers does no good. 
 
We look in the mirror and may see
the cause of some misery or
the answer if action can take place. 
 
The wind is blowing and 
a blizzard is in the making. 
Who will be affected and 
what message will be delivered?
How will its manifestation affect us?
 
We each own a piece of what is and
have a duty to act accordingly. 
Failure leads to self-doubt and depression. 
Will we learn?
Will we act? 
Only time will tell.
 
Meanwhile Grover keeps me in 
a wonderful state of mind
