Time to go inward * time to get a grip *Time to put an end to one long bad acid trip




This is a poem/quote, below, I have taken it from somewhere ???
This touches my soul today so ....... 
I will leave it with you as a lever ....... 
a lever to prod and probe the crack in your soul ........ 
you never know what will leak out ................................ 
or leak in!



Time to go inward It's time to go inward take a look at myself 
Time to make the most of the time that I've got left 
Prison bars imagined are no less solid steel
Time to go inward would you believe that I'm afraid
To stare down the barrel of the choices I have made
The ghost of bad decisions make mountains out of everything 
I feel
Outside my window the wind weaves a path through the trees
The moon takes a shine to the shadows that fall 
on the leavesIt's time to go inward
I don't know if I can do it after all that I've becomeI've been a fool for money 
but it's vanity that always leaves me flat
It's time to go inward man 
I hope I have the nerve
To take an inventory of the causes that I serve
They say a man without a conscience 
is like a man without a country or something like that 
It's time to go inward time to be still
If 
I don't do it now I don't believe I ever will
My mind is like a chatterbox whose noise pollutes 
the pathwaysto my soul
Time to go inward time to get a grip
Time to put an end to one long bad acid trip
I'm all out of excuses for the way 
I've let my choices take a toll
Jesus and Buddah and Krishna and Minnie Pearl knew
Do unto other the things you want done unto you
Time to go inward take a look at me
Try to make some sense of life's illusions that I see
Try to solve the riddle of what it is 
I have to offer to this world
