*DUCKING AND DIVING*

I'm fortunate
to be alive
in this system
of ducking
and depriving.


Amidst all
the conniving
I am happy
to survive. 


And yet way
beyond surviving
I thrive,
Through honest
wholesome living.


Much benefit
I derive,
from conscious
joyous giving.


So long as
I keep believing
all my bounty
will arrive.


I contemplate
my abundant
receiving
exuding drive.


Nothing can stop
me from achieving.
Thus into this
ocean of love
I dive.
