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
