the mystics of the world were not religious
they spurned convention, laws, and rules aesthetic
jesus challenged the forms of so-called godly men
buddha surpassed materialists and ascetics
it's funny though that what they did became
precisely that which they were hinting at avoiding
that's how it goes in any field or theme
not just religion, but in any kind of setting
true meaning and definitions are separated
by a crafty outward-facing mechanism
it's not religion's fault per say
rather the deeper reason that affects us all the ego
so when it's time, whenever that arrives for each
to catch onto this fact that's slightly cryptic
the ones who LISTEN are the ones that reach
the power of the mystics
