Religion

Among the lost I find my place.
Before the end I live.
Among the peaceful I reside,
and I the bad forgive.

I try to find the purest kind
but lose the ration book.
I seek the wisest men of all,
inside my head I look.

And in the dawning of the night
I pray for all of human plight
and I receive a hidden prize
beyond the gaze of darkened eyes
a gift beyond the realm of men.
Of animals.
Of zen, even.

I talk of faith, I know it not.
I know of life alone.

I heed the words of mental form
and in there words find home.
