It’s Not A Sin To Be Happy

Happy Family

Selfishness, pride, envy, greed… all of these can be
Considered to be terrible sins, but there’s no
Greater sin than not being happy. Life is too
Short to tiptoe through it while always feeling blue,
Suffering and complaining with nowhere to go
But deeper into conflict, fear, and misery.

Some may think that happiness is overrated.
Others say that it’s impossible to achieve.
Still others say that we created the concept
Which is why your impressions of it must be kept
Free of bias. In short, you must truly believe
In the happiness you’ve already created.

“Someday, somewhere – anywhere, unfailingly, you’ll
Find yourself, and that, and only that can be the
Happiest or the bitterest hour of your life.”

Who the hell wants to live their life in constant strife
When there’s every good reason to live happily?
We’re not put on the planet to act the damned fool.

Make the best use of your time. Care for your body.
It’s the temple of the Holy Spirit and it
Deserves your respect and affection. Be aware
Of the simple pleasures and find happiness there.
Breaking certain rules can be to your benefit
If with your inner guidance they do not agree.

Spiritual Dynamite

Cosmic Burst

Nitroglycerin is a highly explosive
Compound that confused scientists for many years.
Something so powerful surely must have a use.
If they could only harness it they would produce
A more controlled explosion, yet no volunteers
They would get to help them due to their will to live.

So, through much trial and error, they found that they could,
By combining the nitroglycerin with clay,
Make a dynamite substance. This one named Nobel
Had created something straight out of Dante’s Hell,
But thank God that it could be used in a good way.
Odd people can most often be misunderstood.

We’re spiritual creatures temporarily
Taking on human bodies to experience
What it’s like to mix substances like spirit and
Difficulty so that consciousness can expand
In a big way. Faith is but a minor expense
For partaking of our spirituality.

Sharing our spirituality with others
In a way that does not involve twisting the arm
Of someone to convince them of our chosen way
Will enhance true enlightenment. There’ll come the day
Where we will be aware of all that causes harm
To the spirit as our evolution occurs.
