formula for troubled souls

a formula for joy is found within the pages (thin, marked with bleeding ink in cluttered margins) of sage and venerable writings
so say we all


the numbered steps taken in proper sequence, (held to with courage and discipline -- friends looking on with ledgers) lead to the bliss of success
so say we all

steps, keys, secrets, and ways internalized (through the rigors of post-its on frigidaires, push-button tracks in traffic, and mumbled memorizations) transform deeds, words and pockets
so say we all

says he: mercy in passion, a path of humility, and justice in action -- these are required of us all
