A Vision Of Beyond Poem by John Ackerman

love is the mere essence of my existence
have my eyes fixed to what's ahead
loved has gained it also has lost
humanities heaviest of cost
through the barren leaves
seeketh self to please
yet through it all
I learned to focus on God
beneath the earth's torn sod
we need to realize a word to the wise
left to are own devices
there are viscous forces
we need each other to point are way home
scattered thoughts of emmense blackened pain
there is a real pain I feel
from way down deep inside
pillars of destruction
it's all a grand illusion
leave all noise filled pollution
this is my modest sollution
a vision of beyond
it's the same old song
questions and concerns you all need to know
pump up the beat and with the tempo
showing me where I need to go
