Transmutation
Anger breeds hate, a flame that burns so bright,
But control your anger, let love take flight.
See the difference it can make, oh so profound,
Transmutation from a lunatic to a gentleman, it's found.
Greed, oh how it controls our destiny,
Always wanting more, never feeling free.
But if wealth we had, to charity we gave,
Years of happiness to the needy we would pave.
Fear of failure, a torment we often face,
Holding us back, hindering our pace.
But let hope sprout in your heart, oh so strong,
Confidence in succeeding, it will prolong.
Pessimism, a poison that seeps into our minds,
Destroying hope and dreams, leaving us behind.
But let optimism guide you, oh so true,
To happiness and success, it will lead you.
