can you look beyond the Shallow?
Can you look beyond the shallow?
To find a deeper meaning which is true.
Can you look beyond the shadows?
To find a philosophy for you
Can you find hope in times of madness?
to bring you through your despair
can you find strength and guidance
in the books over there
can you find faith
in actions good works and deeds done
can you find solace when the game is lost and not won
can keep both eyes open
when others with prejudice are opposed
can you find meaning where there seems to be none
,then my friend you’ll never lose and the battle will be half won.
For how we perceive and what we believe
Makes us whole
a heart that looks beyond the shallow
will find what it looks for it will find its goal.

I guess Sophie I am a believer in the spirtual although I am not sure I believe in a conventional God I think any God would be very much beyond the conventional and may well see beyond Good and evil or positive and negative as I like to call them as the God that I believe knows our actions and why even we didn't them (causality).
But ultimately this poem was meant as a kind of text poem for people who find hope and meaning in the everyday books lyrics in songs etc and make their own way in the world and their own philopsophy!
