Zen mode

moment to moment
we detect lethargy
of the tamas guna 
and are astonished 
how gravity confines
the light of our being
in dungeons of darkness 
to fulfil needs of feeble form
wherein at this time we dwell

as of choiceless choice 
we may yield or overcome
the cravings of our ego
either which ways
we are free
the difference however
is the state of consciousness 
are we asleep or are we now awake
