Small Steps for Mankind

Avtar Johore 16.03.09

You stand at a crossroads of paths awaiting a sign
Right or wrong it cannot be undone, its under lined
Behind you the past is consigned to your history
Ahead of you is shrouded in mist, a dark mystery

A choice to the left, another right but minds adrift
You are in the present, treat it as the Lords gift
Forget all, begin anew, treat strangers and family alike
We are children of One Father, why fight or dislike?

Keep on the right path and things will workout
Time awaits no one if we stay still and hangout
The world changes fast and we are left far behind
A prisoner of our indecision, our future undefined

Unless we take small steps forward for mankind
How can we reach the moon or peace refine?
Its not complicated an equation, just do the maths
Don't stand waiting forever at the crossroads of paths

Progress may be slow, stumbling, keep momentum
The way of truth is not easy, difficult to overcome
Gain priceless rewards of peace, happiness, contentment
Open your eyes to signs before it ends in resentment

Baba Ji removes veils of ignorance, colour and caste,
Shackles of hate broken our inner beauty is unsurpassed
Avtar asks my Guru, forgive my sins, cleanse my inner soul
Mould me into thy servant so I may play my destined role
