Self thought

What is life, if its not to be lived,
What is living, if its not to be experienced,
What is experience, if its not to be learnt,
What is learning, if its not to be remembered,
What is remembering, if it has already been forgotten,
So truly, what is life is it is to be forgotten,
Drowned in its own self righteousness, struggling to be remembered,
Lost in this sea of memories.

What are memories, if they arent lived?
Are they merely figments of ones imagination?
Made by the feeble mind to reign over ones own body,
Caught in a spiral of selfishness,
Lost in this sea of thoughts.

What are thoughts, if they arent of the mind,
What is a minds thoughts, and what is a thought of mind,
Are they the same? Parallel in likeness, going hand in hand,
Or are they different? Lateral in thought, never to meet again,
So, what are they, truly? Where are they going?
All of this, lost in my sea of self thought.

Is the mind a sentience of its own?
Connected to the body, but seperate in entities?
What of the soul? Is it a part of the body, but only by birth?
To what degree truly are we free? Oh how my soul yearns for a truce,
between body and brain, soul and spirit, earthly and heavenly.
Lost in my own thoughts, once again I come to the same conclusion,
Nothing is as its seem, and follow your heart, and follow God.

What is a person, without God leading them?
A lost soul, like a wayward sheep, having apparent freedom, but lost entirely.
The world, the cruel world, having found the sheep, brings it into itself.
A wayward sheep, a part of the world, a part of iniquity.
As I ponder longer and longer, I wonder to myself, what made a person lose that connection?
Did God forsake them? Were they misguided? The poor unfortunate soul.

Verily, to leaders of organisations, truly I say,
what is of the body if the brain is not awake?
A weak, feeble body, incapable of anything but self pity and morose.

This, a warning I heed to all, even more so to leaders of governments and churches!
Protect your flock! Protect your people!
What is there in a human if there is not a body but a greedy brain?
The bodily needs, all taken upon itself, until the body is an atrophied being,
Lifeless,powerless, and full of vengeance, for trusting in the brain, having been destroyed by the ones they trusted, seeking solace with their own enemies,
For fear of itself have become greater than the fear of the wicked ones.

This is why many seek refuge in this world, why many seek other powers,
The people are just sheep! It is the shepherds duty to watch over them!
The Great Shepherd has done his part, but the task has fallen to shepherds whom are still sheep.
For if a sheep will lead a sheep, then surely I say that both shall be lost asunder.
So, again, heed my request, be a leader to men, and a shepherd to your sheep,
Just like how, The Great Shepherd has done, for you.
