Mantra

Myopic inner tendency From conflict flee protecting me Dissolved no bonding simplify To live a way of peace But challenge me repeatedly The purpose of I cannot see Testing that already strong Which stands alone unaided The mantra lies controlling Chains invisible abounding Rubble mind in darkness sounding Hopeless walk the lie again
