Everyone Gets what They Deserve

Everyone Gets what They Deserve

No they don't, why do good people have to suffer,
be careful, fate will run you down if you let her,
others more fortunate, if I could only but utter,
why do some people end up with bums in butter?

Bemoaning good fortune, many have had their share,
you had your chances, which one, you tell me where;
you carry things in your mind, maybe lucky mon ami,
still mull ideas over, are you really where you want to be??

We pretend, masters of deception but there's no place to hide,
were we misled, false promises, where's my spiritual guide??
I am here, watching you, whatever you choose to do,
consider your position, that's it - you need a different view.

I have one, unlike Buddha it's doubtful I will come again,
no one had a life like mine - enjoy whatever you attain.

This is VERY well crafted TERRY!!.....your words and phrases filled with powerful intent.....that carry a powerful message.......your word choices are deliberate and well considered......I have to say.....that speaking on enlightenment can be such tricky subject matter...... but you have side stepped the land mines and come through with flying colors ~ and toyed with one of the BIG questions in life......and then delivered a perfect segue ~

               ~ "Consider your position, that's it ~ you need a different view..."

Wow!!....Well conceived and BEAUTIFULLY delivered dear poet brother!!......PINNED!!......LOVE it!!......when a write comes together like this.....it's such a good feeling....is it not?....Bravo!!.....LOVE & ROCKETS!!.....T xo  :  )

Hello Terry, 
what a great internal piece of poetry. It delves into the core of the self. Somewhere some of us choose to just ignore. But really when we do start to self analyse, everything becomes a huge question. Life can feel so suddenly false. 

"You carry things in your mind, maybe lucky mon ami"

I love your wording through out this piece. We certainly can attempt to rest peacefully within our minds. Mindfulness itself can aid us to feel more confident in our life choices and experiences. Where luck feels more fruitful suddenly and the glass is half full. 

I do hope the glass feels more half full than empty now for you. 

Bonne Chance
