Lend ear, take to heart unalienable rights—
Divinely granted, irrevocable.
Let freedom of conscience take to new heights
Your personal journeys on life’s timetable.
See life’s bed of thorns not as cross to bear,
But as champion of truth that wakes pipe dreams,
Purges hearts of deceit and pride’s fanfare
To usher humility in on moonbeams.
Pride’s bitter pill lays bare profound insights,
Endowed with divine favor they sway the heart,
Align core truth with clarity of spirit,
Unveil higher truths—ignite soul’s jump start.
Cultivate inner peace, when life’s seems adrift...
Said vessel set sail as celestial gift.
