Or higher than others?<br />To be Higher? Nay, a better question would be what is this 'distance' man perceives?<br /><br />Scientists tells us we perceive distance <br />By the amount of light that reaches the depths of our eyes<br />Yet look to the rising and setting of the sun- its light gives life to all beings<br />But remains relative throughout all our days <br /><br />So what makes us think trying to prove ourselves will accomplish anything absolute?<br />All that we learn and achieve will soon return to nothingness..<br />And for each knower there is still another higher knower!<br />So stop this nonsensical competition!<br />We may keep our feelings secret or proclaim them-<br />But there is a knower above all creation who knows either way..<br /><br />The light of this knower never grows dim..<br />And it is closer to us than our own necks!<br /><br />Oh my brothers and sisters!<br />Why do we reject this light today?<br />Anything which perceived only by the heart is cast aside<br />We would much rather wonder at lights and things<br />That appeal to our eyes and other lower senses<br /><br />And now we have created blinding lasers!<br />To guide us when our limited vision fails<br /><br />Verily, my brothers and sisters<br />There is a laser inside all of us<br />That is supremely stronger and brighter<br />Than that which he have made today-<br />And it&nbsp; is healing to so many ailments!<br />If only we would look within..<br /><br />So let us shine laser beams of love from our hearts<br />In order that we may dissect the impure growths<br />We have nurtured all our lives..<br /><br />Look at us now my brothers and sisters!<br />Our impure habits and dealings have taken firm root in the earth<br />We condone a most impure lifestyle indeed!<br /><br />Thousands and thousands of idols we worship daily!<br />If man but knew the evil inherent in them<br />We would surely rid ourselves of them and beg for mercy!<br /><br />Still- we grew tired of the idols our ancestors made sacrifices to<br />Which did not speak back to us when we gave them our precious time-<br />So we created ones that do that too! And how much more entertaining they are indeed!
