[I have always wondered how nirvana is attained, and how many people have attained it without our knowing it. Why do those who have attained that state not come down from their plane of existence and enlighten others?
...My first genuine attempt at taking my poetry to the next level.]
Rise above guns and missiles and war-
Countries against, and the countries for.
Rise above the ones headlining non-news-
And above the ones bickering on non-issues.
Rise, my friends, above votebank politics-
They can form a full blood-bank, oh these bloody ticks!
Rise above these petty things and small-
You need to rise above them all.
Rise above the culture of casual dating-
The flirting, upskirting, and then the hating.
Rise above cigarettes, drugs and drinking-
You're making a hole in your own boat and sinking!
Rise above relations with ulterior motives-
Who suck the flower dry, so long as it gives.
Rise above these petty things and small-
You need to rise above them all.
Rise above jealousy, greed and gluttony-
Rise above slaughter for meat and muttony.
Rise above your working for only paychecks-
It feels like you're having passionless sex!
Unshackle yourself from mediocrity,
Rise! and tackle problems right at the nitty-gritty.
Rise above these petty things and small-
You need to rise above them all.
Rise yourself, and others raise,
Above them all, for one of these days,
So high above, you will have risen,
You'll laugh at the ones still in this prison.
