Go East, Young Man

Knowing what to do with your life
Is very important, yeah
I know that for a fact
Cuz not too long ago
Mine was mostly ‘meh’

So I sought out
Something different, something new
Something with an altered point of view

And what I wanted,
A life changing system
I soon confronted
In eastern wisdom

Its perspectives taught me
That playing the game’s
As important as a win
And if I hoped to make any gains
I’d need to look within

And I did

Along the way
I discovered the karma sensation
How my actions and what I say
Determine my destination

And I became a better person

Then, from Buddha, I learned of dharma
Which applies to old folks and youth
Supplementing karma
With universal truth

And I saw the light

And I learned a lesson
Worth repeating
About the importance
Of healthy eating

Which included exotic aromas and spices
And herbs with pharmaceutical worth
Reaping nature’s pharma
From the Mother Earth

And so it was
I was feeling great
Managing the things
On my virtual plate

And my boss saw the change
That had happened in me
Would I speak of my new
Philosophy
To everyone in 
Our company?

Certainly!

And so it was
Having walked the walk
I’d now spread the word
In a masterful talk

It felt so great
To be on this trajectory
Now I’d be teaching
Eastern philosophy

Or so I thought

The presentation my boss had backed
Unfortunately got all side-tracked
Cuz I worked too long, so sleep I lacked

And when up came that biggest day
To teach of karma, dharma, and pharma
Unfortunately, I’m sad to say
I slept through my alarma
