We can retire from employment <br />if we find financial success. <br />But ever heard of retirement <br />from a life of spiritual bliss. <br /> <br />It seems today to be the popular <br />thing to do. <br />No more re-incarnations or <br />miracles for you. <br /> <br />Do not be waking me on Sunday <br />or asking to pray for your troubles. <br />I will be walking in the garden <br />or in the back yard blowing bubbles. <br /> <br />Tired of all your misery <br />and whining all day long. <br />The sages are retiring <br />no more banging on the gong. <br /> <br />Get your life together <br />make due with what you got. <br />The holy man <br />is retiring- this is not an evil plot. <br /> <br />No more sacred oblations <br />No more absolution off the shelve. <br />If you want forgiveness you <br />will have to forgive yourself. <br /> <br />Please blow out the <br />candles and make a donation if you can. <br />I will be fishing in the ocean <br />your friend and guru, retired holy man.<br /><br />Saint Eule<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/retired-holy-man/
