DEGENERATION

When gods are out to teach me a lesson

where to go to pray or find relief?


my prophet friend predicts each day good

and the future fulfilling, the palmists find

the sun, saturn, venus, and rahu hostile


they seek money for rituals, stones, or mantras

while God gives us the best in life gratis


I can't change man or nature, nor the karmas

now or tomorrow they all delude

in the maze of expediency and curse

stars, fate, destiny, or life before and after

degenerating the mind, body, thought, and divine
