Something Of a Higher Consciousness Knows Everything

We were all given the same rules.
And the consequences for disobeying them,
Were tested.
By more than just a few.

Why many are protesting the results,
Of those tests...
That upset them to experience their distress,
Is their lesson not mine.

I struggle very hard and fight against temptation.
And I don't always win.
However,
Those lessons I accepted...
I had never expected them to end.
Maybe that is why,
I am not afraid to make mistakes...
And learn until my tears cried dry.

Whereas...
Others may repeatedly ask for a forgiveness.
And believing they are secretly in discreet.
With a perception that what is done,
Can not be seen by 'deities' beyond.
With a hiding of their business,
Away from public scrutiny.

And I am not that foolish...
To think what I do,
Is not spiritually viewed and judged too!
If I can oberved 5th graders doing exactly,
Those things I've done...
And they ignore me as if I am invisible?
I know that very same thing is being done to me.

Something of a higher consciousness,
Knows everything about my exiistence.
And praying everyday is what I do!

'Dear Father?
I know You can see me.
But here's the deal.
And my appeal...'
