Refining Consciousness

Every moment, everyday 
Comes a chance to paint your way
Be not caught in mad emotion
For, calmness is your salvation 

Unjust hate is an obsession  
It veils the eyes of prudent reason 
It makes the heart a sightless slave
Until it sinks into the grave 

Before you hate, know first your reason
For, ignorance is like a treason
The one you hate is even clueless 
So, hating blind is just a madness 

Fear likewise is an illusion 
Just like a latent misconception 
Don’t let your fear curtail your movements
Find your courage to paint your moments 

Make sure that you first understood 
Before your fear settles for good 
For, too much fear is a weakness 
That halts your chance for great success 

The blinding haze of ignorance
Deprives the soul of its greatest chance
Don’t waste your time in deathly passion
When you can love for greatest reason
