Attachment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you CLUTCH the VINES of attachment
GRASP them tightly, HOLD on to them
You suffer multi HUED agony endlessly
You GASP in pain
Remember nothing is yours.
All that you possess was gifted after birth
It will be taken away at death
Why have attachment to transient
We not be attached to permanent
The ultimate source of bliss and love
Detach from world, attach to God
Once you remove your worldly CLASP
you will GLIDE and SOAR freely
INHALE tranquility
You will be liberated from this world
Never to come back again

Some verses from Bhagvad Gita related to attachment
BG 2.62: While contemplating on the objects of the senses, one develops attachment to them. Attachment leads to desire, and from desire arises anger
BG 2.63: Anger leads to clouding of judgment, which results in bewilderment of the memory. When the memory is bewildered, the intellect gets destroyed; and when the intellect is destroyed, one is ruined
BG 4.10: Being freed from attachment, fear, and anger, becoming fully absorbed in me, and taking refuge in me, many persons in the past became purified by knowledge of me, and thus they attained my divine love.
BG 5.10: Those who dedicate their actions to God, abandoning all attachment, remain untouched by sin, just as a lotus leaf is untouched by water
