we seek pleasant fields <br />easy ways, unbelievable solutions <br />low-risk, high-yield investments; <br />pleasant fields <br />where we can chew cud <br />and lie with our sexy partners <br />and drink soma and sip bacardi rum; <br />we seek get-rich-quick schemes <br />and we desire get-to-Heaven plans; <br />O, we seek pleasant fields <br />that will bring comfy tomorrows <br />and Heavens that will <br />answer all our prayers; <br />and so the Financial Gurus appear <br />and do so Preachers and Saviors <br />and we make markets of our <br />Houses of Prayer; <br />we seek pleasant fields <br />and so come too Prophets, a long line of them <br />and Teachers and Chosen Ones <br />and we create God <br />that we force to create us; <br />we seek pleasant fields <br />so we can have earthly pleasures <br />and move on <br />to have eternal comforts; <br />here we will have financial security <br />and plenty that the pleasant fields yield, <br />and through our religion and our faith and our beliefs <br />and oh, through the grace of Almighty God, <br />through the One True God <br />we will have eternal insurance <br />(including travel insurance) <br />and we will have pleasant fields <br />all day long <br />and all eternity long; <br />and forever we shall live <br />in Paradise <br />where everyone’s reward <br />are harm-free drugs <br />and one can ride <br />in the Heavens of one’s imaginations <br /> <br />we seek pleasant fields <br />because we cannot face <br />the mines in the fields of our own ugliness<br /><br />Raj Arumugam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-seek-pleasant-fields/
