Notes About The Poem

Apply the Brake

Apply the brake on thoughts vicious Fall not to thrust of lust Heart shrivels by acts pernicious Ego misdeeds unjust Tender love God caress Open hearts He does bless Let’s not His laws transgress Our joy at stake Apply the brake 17-December-2021 Quietus

Temptation Seeker, man’s greatest weakness, does it ever go away, I really cannot say, but I can say, this is another fine quietus, cheers David

The universe tests in jest. Are we at our best or react at ego’s behest?

Interesting way to express self-restraint, Seeker. Gotta go get my brakes checked for wear and tear! Peace, Gershon

Indeed, the brake is a more useful tool than the accelerator
