with baited breath for the ritual
i've watched this experience raise
them to pseudo higher levels
i've watched them leave their families
in pursuit of your nirvana
i've seen them coming to line up
from switzerland to america
how long will this take baba
how long have we been sleeping
do you see me hanging on to
how much will this cost guru
i've seen them give their drugs up
in place of makeshift altars
i've heard them rotely repeat your
i've seen them boasting robes and
i've seen them overlooking god in
i've seen their upward glances
in hopes of instant salvation
i've seen their righteousness
mixed without loving compassion
i've watched you smile as
the students bow to kiss your feet
give me strength all knowing one
how long 'til enlightenment
