a line from a song

it's a line from a mark knopfler song


and i'm staring in the mirror

at the face that i deserve

almost over

tho this life is almost over
and i'm slightly bent
still my soul does wonder
just what it all has meant

all the struggles and wars
seem so petty and small
and the dreams of the youth
such a long distance call

here at the end
with no fight left inside
it seems such a waste
all the truth we did hide

ideas and dreams
that we try to make real
oh so important
how we'll lie and we'll steal

one thing over learned
in this game we call life
love is so rare
in this land filled with strife

accept who you are
and the same for all others
it's not right to hurt
for in truth we're all brothers

the religious nature

the true religious nature

is non-denominational


so life seems to me

pride and shame

two sides of the same nickel

the final answer

questioning life

is knot the way

self

facing your true self

is the only way to truly live


not facing your true self

will create a distorted relationship with your self

which means you are misrepresenting your self

as you express your self


and that will lead to the situation we have on our little planet today


there is much that needs to be done

there is also a sacred trust

that would be life

all life


all life that is

has ever been

or will ever be
