Can You

Can you separate your art
  from your politics

Can you separate the temporal
  from the divine

Can you separate the excuses
  from the reasons

Can you separate purpose
  from those wasted times

Can you separate your vocation
  and avocation

Can you separate curiosity
  from true insight

Can you separate your duty  
  from convenience

Can you separate the darkness
 —from the light
