The Wheel of Time

I am the wheel of time - That turns - Where e'er I touch - Life's flame - It burns - Where e'er I touch - Is now - It's said - For as I move - The future's read - And present  - Into past - Has fled - Egal Bohen

Privileged

Intelligence defines his name - Man's destiny Grows with his brain - But life? Well, It is all the same - For from the sea It surely came - Don't kid yourself That man is it - He is but just a part - With life he shares His heritage - Through starlight From the dark - And should he think He better is - Because it is He talks - His cousins They do just the same - As on two legs He walks - And should he think Superior His manners or his clothes - Remember Man You're privileged - Just why - God only knows - Egal Bohen

Very Fortunate Monkeys..

Very fortunate monkeys - With minds that wander free Our world of thought expanding Rejecting what we see - Beyond this world around us Reality disowned We live out our desires In our boxes  Just like clones And while we call this progress The further off we stray From the system That supports us - More the other monkeys pray - Egal Bohen

Like the Morning Sun

Just as the reed
Is as the oak
It has for us
So clear been wrote
To fear not death
When it doth come
Upon us
Like the morning sun
For death feared not
Where e're it's flight
Is death feared not
Throughout our life

This World of which we are a part..

When nature carries on

Intent on it’s own plan

-

Oblivious

-

Indifferent of puny man

-

That we in desperation then look round

-

To find a place

-

A face

-

To point a finger at

-

Where blame may be attached

-

A culprit found

-

There is no blame

-

For this is life we live

-

Here we walk with beasts

On dangerous ground

-

Where natures forces are at work

With ice and rock

-

A test for places next

Perhaps where we are bound

-

The trouble is

It seems we have so long forgot

-

This world

Of which we are a part

-

That now we think with arrogance

That we are not

-

Egal Bohen

This World

This world we build reflects ourselves

-

We should see it

As a lesson

-

Earth waits for change

Expectantly

-

Our conscious

re-expression

-

Egal Bohen

Life is a test

Life is a test

We all must take

That if we pass

We emigrate

Our powers grown

Through steady state

To places new

Fresh worlds

To shape
