The World Needs You Poem by sookdeo manansingh manansingh

When everything seems not to be
working out right
like walking through a tunnel
without any light
when you place so much effort
and success seems to be far away
like knowing a storm
and you feel to cry in dismay

where are your friends
when you need them most
to walk alone through the narrow path
and to imagine it could've been worst
to feel isolated as though you are
in a cave living in fear
what more can you create in the mind
knowing that too shall soon disappear

what is the purpose of life
to keep focus with the little breath
you have to remain
to be enlightened with knowledge
that there will be no suffering and pain
what does it mean to be free
from the illusion that exists
to be awakened by a sage
that to understand wisdom be insist

why is mother nature
not responding
to your call of faith
who is responsible for the loss
that will cover for your mistake
this is the journey of the soul
that you have to pass
time and time again
your presence in this world
is most needed to make the sacrifice
that will bring an end
to all this pain.
