Poison and Emotions

Start POISON is anything which exceeds necessity It can be over- eating leading to obesity Or it can be power, wealth and hunger Tempting one to commit a blunder The vice of ego, greed or ambition Triggers within self a war of attrition The passion of love and hate Can cause the change of fate FEAR is non-acceptance of uncertainty After death the soul passes on to eternity Acceptance changes fear to adventure Hope guides one to a new venture ENVY is non-acceptance of good in others Even between brothers of same mothers Acceptance of good leads to inspiration Working up to it excretes perspiration ANGER is failure of mind to control our temper It leads to fun parties becoming a damper Control of temper redeems sense of tolerance To deal with situations without seeking deliverance TIME spent on worrying about ‘the way things were’ Reduces the time on good things that we share It’s a moment stolen from our creative mind In pursuit of our goals which are left behind! End

Your poem made me think of the importance of 'acceptance', as a positive decision, in detaching myself from the poisonous effects of emotions that I've experienced about some of the bad things that have happened in my life.

Thanks! Indeed, many undesirable events in life occur due to our non-acceptance of the basic facts.
