What is the Secret?

We must turn to God.
Turn away from the person that wishes
all the pleasures of this world.
Ourselves.
What a waste to obtain the riches of
this place and lose the rewards of the next.

God will see to our enjoyment if we turn to Him.
But it must not be our goal.
Secrets are those things that people 
refuse to discuss, to investigate.

How is it that a prophet comes and
no one listens?
How is it that guidance is given
and no one follows?

What is it with this world and these people?
They rush forward into life 
without asking the questions.
Never could I understand persons living
without knowing their purpose.

A life circling and spiralling in a tailspin
Only asking, making some last minute cry
as life comes to a crash.

We are souls.
Can you not feel the convulsions as it seeks
to free itself of the dirt of the city
Freeing itself of a society of darkness.

It wants the pleasures of deep union
Lowliness before God and 
oneness with other like souls.
Ah, the Secret!
