Everybody Needs A Philosophy II
If you are absorbed in living,
Even interested in dying,
And you want a piece of peace,
What’s needed is a philosophy
Which doesn’t call for a big P,
Doesn’t happen overnight
But is a learning over time;
Which feels comfortable,
Works well with common sense,
And doesn’t need five pence to feed it.
Everybody needs a backdrop
To the choices of your voice,
And a voice to daily choices
Never coming to a stop.
How to get there?
How to find out what is fitting;
Find what lifts the soul of you
Down to your shoe.
You might just find a book,
Or without expecting, meet a bloke,
Hear a joke, learn a rule
In, out of school
Wherein you do not make
The same mistake
Over, over.
Everybody needs a mentor
To give thoughts a broader shoulder;
Down-to-earth yet spiritual,
Practical, empirical,
Not cynical or lyrical
But real: the real deal.
A wielder of the future.
