Arjuna, 21st Century
Trappe within my skin,
trapped within my life.
I live each day within
the same parameters
of responsibility.
I do right
no matter what.
I've done wrong
believing it was right.
Such constrictions,
such borders,
leave me no outs,
no excuses.
I want to explode,
but suspect implosion
will be my lot.
Where do I get relief
within the boundaries
that I set?
Take a cleansing breath,
embrace the rules,
embrace the borders
do your dharma
