Bardo

It's been easy until now

But you'll likely question how

You have traveled far, it's true

But there's much more left to do

For it's time to pay the toll

And we never know the sum of what we owe

You can't go back from where you came

You must move on and face the flame

Of the last bardo

You can pray unto your god

But your prayers will bring you naught

For in here you bear the scar

Of exactly what you are

It matters not what you believe

And it matters even less what you think you know

So put on your little show

But no further will you go

Til you pass the last bardo

You will surrender all you hide

And be cleansed and purified

And of you burden you'll be free

If it takes eternity in the last bardo
