Hike to Insight

The fear in these lies hides in the tears of my eyes/

This beast centered in the mind feeds lines to feast on our kind/

We may all be different by design but you will find one way in which we align/

Ours is a spiritual crime coupled with the physical desire to cross that line/

I used to be the kind who felt I was a victim of the times/

Trying to unravel reason & rhyme by pouring wine down my spine/

Sleepwalking thru my distorted view of the truth with a bottle of booze & my alarm stuck on snooze/

Spent the last decade of life lost & confused/

Searching for my way out this nightmare of

self-abuse/

Now I find the holy ghost in these anecdotes of Hope/

Which I use to expose this planet choking on the sin in its throat/

You boast about how you proposed to this world disguised in lies/

Well, I’m a heavenly host sent to promote the bride of the Most High/

I cut that rope attached to pride & latched my soul onto the eternal Guide/

Now I’m edified by every sunrise that climbs out of the darkness of night/

The devil no longer resides behind these once petrified eyes/

Hell can’t survive in a being beaming with His purified light/

So now I spit flows from the soul to show praise for my Creator of the cosmos/

Sometimes my head's a bowl full of doubt and I gotta spoonful of sin hanging out my mouth/

But when I grip the mic and shout to the clouds it opens my spirit's spout & removes the shroud/

Allowing me to live in the here and now/

This life is a hike to insight/

Just endure the plight/

Walk in His light/

Forget about fight or flight/

Reach the summit of peace, earn your stripes and bask in His delight/

It's not about who's wrong or right/

The purpose of life is to have faith in the dark what He's shown you in the light/

His love is not just a crutch for you to use when times get tough/

Everyday you need to pray to be an instrument of His touch/

Surrender your fears and lust to the One who is righteous and just/

He will in return fill your heart with perfect love until it busts/

When it does you must then spread it to all who mistrust/
