Nirvana

Contemplation Realization All cessation In frustration Be reward Of mortication Be my goal And my salvation Could this life Ascetically Help me reach Nirvana free Or must I pay Some lifelong fee To get to where I'm knowing me Must I starve A path to where All I envy Gone and bare Cast solution Never mattered Let the calf Be born and fatted Grain of rice To quell the fire Douse the flame Of my desire To the past With my en-vy My earthly grasp In place of me Can we transcend Imperfect places Born again Of endless faces Can I stop This circle motion Nay return The cycle broken
