Cleanse, To Plant 'A Seed of Virtue'

Cleanse - To plant 'A Seed of Virtue'...!


Cleanse my mind, cleanse my heart 
and cleanse my thought I pray;
seething anger, insatiable desire
and pangs of fear way-lay!

Easy prey for stimulant, that prowls 
for a hunt and looks out to vent;
feeds on from incubates in the mind,
held by an incidental stent!

Feelings follow thoughts without a barrier,
like fire and heat awaiting a pyre;
to drag me down, scuffle with me to drown -
deep into awaiting quagmire!

Stuttering words spew venom on,
maybe in offence or in defence;
sequel to inward feeling in a spurt, 
finding no way to renounce.

After what is told and heard comes action,
all without knowing - true notion;
waxing and waning emotions, only herding,
mind and intellect to utter commotion!

Does it matter to look at cause and effect,
as a 'dent' done once is done forever;
chinks tinkered, brought back to course -
visible and invisible scars - be guised never!

Repentance may dawn on own guilt - haunt
and later steer towards an apology;
but, the heart and mind of the victim 
though has distanced itself beyond 'apogee'!

Sure to help if the thought is reigned,
curbed well or changed in course;
asserted and affirmed on a positive note 
will not head-on to anything so coarse!

Plant the seed of virtue in thought and see it
transcend in nature - to boast and hold a toast;
it always does a lot of good to remember the dictum 
that "anger first consumes the host"!
