Sweet Jenny

Jenny was the sweetest thing at work,
Everybody loved her kind and nice ways.
She was soft spoken and always sweet,
And I, lucky guy, began going out with her.
But when I was with her and she had my
Heart, a different Jenny came out of her
And was hot tempered and often crazy.
Unable to deal with the new Jenny,
I broke up with her and moved away.
After which she tracked me down and
Stole my dog Rex, set my house on
Fire, and smashed all the windows in
My brand new car. And I still can’t get
Over how different the other version
Of the real Jenny was.

The Only Way and My Way

The Christian said you had to go through
Christ to get to heaven, and He was the

Only way. The Hare Krishna said you had
To go through Krishna to get to Krishnaloka

And He was the only way. Nondualists said
You had to get to the Oneness and that was

The true way. With these different beliefs
And many more, maybe none are right, or

Maybe all are right dependent on the path
The seeker followers, and perhaps there is

No only way and many ways to many
Different final destinations for each seeker.

Or maybe all are wrong and at the end of
Life a different version awaits everyone.

If I could pick and choose my only way
It would be eternal love with a soulmate

In something akin to a blissful paradise
With everyone like angels and no rules

Or deities one had to be subservient to,
And sweets would be great for you.

And if you join my cult and send me
Truckloads of money, I’ll get you there.
