Not yet on the way
Those who have the smallest grain
Of wisdom
Would want to walk
The simple path
Of the Great Integrity.
Their only fear would be to go astray.
Indeed, there is a good reason to fear
When most of the world
Is piled into two wagons
Racing toward each other
On a single lane road.
In one over-crowded wagon
Is the vast majority
Who live in weedy feeds
With empty granaries
In the other wagon
Are those whose garments
Are opulently embroidered.
They gorge themselves on rich foods
Far beyond their appetites,
And guzzle inebriating drinks
Far beyond their thirst.
They accumulate wealth
Even beyond their avaricious cravings
While armed to the teeth
Against their starving neighbors.
Surely such thievish degradation
Couldn’t be the way
To the Great Integration
Those who have the smallest grain
Of wisdom
Would want to walk
The simple path
Of the Great Integrity.
Their only fear would be to go astray.
Indeed, there is a good reason to fear
When most of the world
Is piled into two wagons
Racing toward each other
On a single lane road.
In one over-crowded wagon
Is the vast majority
Who live in weedy feeds
With empty granaries
In the other wagon
Are those whose garments
Are opulently embroidered.
They gorge themselves on rich foods
Far beyond their appetites,
And guzzle inebriating drinks
Far beyond their thirst.
They accumulate wealth
Even beyond their avaricious cravings
While armed to the teeth
Against their starving neighbors.
Surely such thievish degradation
Couldn’t be the way
To the Great Integration

Such an interesting imagery ... people out of balance, because although there are "two" groups segregated in this, I believe the division goes deeper. However, tis a sad but true representation. You either are.. or you are not.
