Freedom From Desires

 
 
I begin with the name of God The Most High,  
May noble prayers and abundant blessings be upon those most loved,  
Months are newly born yet very soon seem to die,  
A blur of dreamy memories into thirty-ish days a-shoved,  
 
We live our lives like cattle eating the monotonies and acceptances of society,  
The tablets of our minds being engraved with what to feel, look, and think to be correct,  
But in our contemporary quests to conform to societal propriety,  
We see the realities of the dark towers we ourselves have aided to erect,  
 
Places where happiness becomes a facade to the ugliness of desires,  
False thoughts of freedom while in reality the hearts are bounded in enslaving shackles,  
Forging our own destinies in the darkest of fires,  
Choking on the smoke of ignorance while laughing hysterically through periodic cackles,  
 
The question is asked, how can we escape this dreaded fate,  
From the elaborate whispers of the one who absolutely refused to bow,  
I say with gentleness like a mother cat with her baby’s nape,  
Engage your inner self with the intention to master you must vow,  
 
Ridding yourself of the diseases that are physically hidden,  
Yet cause many to die a most dubious insidious death,  
This battle is one that has no comfort of a horse to be ridden,  
You must suffer and crawl yourself free of spiritual debts.
