Savior Complex
We live in a world that is still not perfect
So we try to perfect it

We Are all connected
Your pain is mine

Somewhere down the line
We are interdependent
Here for each other

But where is the line between
Caring and saving

Who needs to be cared for and saved in the first place

There are those without water
There are those without a soul

Who needs a drink from spirit the most?

Can one find oneself in the question?

We live in a world that is so comfortable
For so many people
We’d love for this freedom to spread
So all can experience this Life

How much is enough
When the earth is polluted

Where is the balance between
Riches and rainstorms

How is it all interconnected

Her Spirituality and our own

Seeking shelter
Seeking a soul

Coming into comfort
Finding inner freedom

Not taking what we don’t need
Sharing what’s in excess

Is this where we All meet
Is this where we Find each other
Finally?

Science and Technology
Catching up to consciousness
Can we be comfortable and free
Where will we find the energy
To maintain our lifestyle
And be happy

Calming our minds to
Calm the tides of imperfection

While

Creating the efficiencies
To perfect just about everything

Am I happy because I get what I want
Am I satisfied because I’m free of wanting

Where is the balance between
Wanting and not wanting
Perfecting and peacefulness
Addictions and needs

Can we find the energy for our appetites
Can we be aware of our cravings

Can we use this earth to satiate and placate
Our bodies’ desires for the heavenly

Will She hold us in our yearnings
Will we be bold enough in our inventions

Will we discover a Source Beyond
To allow everybody to be Lovely?

Source

Can I be okay with being me
Can I relax into non-activity

Will I be fed by a Source from above
Or is my belly needing something physical not just love

How often can we say riches don’t buy happiness
When a warm meal is typically sufficient

Can we be practical in our wisdom
Can we stop with the aphorisms
And realize sometimes we need the cent

Yet it’s the system we are part of
Who gets the most and the least
Then we act like it’s heavenly
When it’s worldly evident

When will we connect our brains and our hearts
When will we see our interconnectivity

When will we be wealthy enough to share
When will we be wise enough to care

Will quantum artificial intelligence save our souls?
Bring the cost down to zero
Saved forevermore
