On Several Levels of Your Unawakened Consciousness

You were the one who chose to feed,
Your knowledge and ego...
To the benefit of corporate interests.
And for those perks given in exchange for your loyalty...
You delighted in the purchase of things.
With an arrogant snobbery that affords one shallow...
To flaunt a good salary,
That the selling of one's soul brings.

I've seen you in the midst of socialites.
With broad smiling faces in newspaper clips.
Expressing an excitement that showed your delight.

Those corporate successes,
Has today left you stressed and disconnected.
And you've chosen my shoulder to weep nonstop.
Caring not to remember,
It was me you dropped.
Erased...
From your fast paced life.
Since I preferred mine to live much too basic.
With an appetite that turned you off!

'If you have no desire to excell...
I am going to leave! '

And your rush to break my heart to climb to the top...
Has been achieved!
Congratulations.

However...
What makes you think your weeping pleases me?
You have a lot a nerve and much audacity!
What 'else' have you assumed about 'yourself'?

You feed my cravings and quench my thirst?

What 'else' have you assumed about 'yourself'?

And who has kept you fed on lies?
Is this a leftover from a corporate feast?
Since it is quite obvious to me...
Your mind has been deficiently suspended,
In a self absorbing depletion of reality.

What 'else' have you assumed about 'yourself'?

NOW...
If you've come for a nutritional enlightenment?
Guess what?
That's where I have excelled!
And the teaching of it has become my expertise.

I'm not going to hesitate at all to let you have it!
On several levels of your unawakened consciousness.

YES!
This is going to be,
On several levels of your unawakened consciousness.
YES!
This is going to be,
On several levels of your unawakened consciousness!

That's where I have excelled!
And the teaching of it has become my expertise.
