Temperance Poem by Indira Renganathan

Temperance

Rating: 4.7


How this mind be done with..
Do means don't, don't means do
Dictature on its own extremes
Alike the ocean-tide high and low
Never moderate in steady show
'So let go'enjoins the 'shastra'
To a festival fete
'So let go' enjoins the 'shastra'
To a fasting abstinence even
'So let go' enjoins the 'shastra'
On a spree to talkative rocking
'So let go' enjoins the 'shastra'
To vow of silence even
Done the mind extremist in balance
Done with extremes attributed Lordly
'So let go' enjoins the 'shastra'
To meditate at last on 'aham brahmasmi'
What wrong you being temperate this way
Beware, beware..
