New Paths

Put aside the feelings from within you derive,
for those feelings will drive you and the ego will subside.
Be like the observer looking from far away,
who speaks with great fervor but is detached from their ways.
For then you can have great laughs
at the time they let pass,
piddling their time away in some purposeless craft.

To the rages that controlled your greatest mistakes,
you will tell them of banishment and new purposes you shall create.
Raw emotion is not real and is meaningless ultimately,
so we should not worry about bickering so desolately.
Now you fight rage
with a turn of a page,
you leave the petty with the concern of a sage.

Imagine your feelings from consciousness instead,
for then they are the ends that lay restlessness to bed.
Anger becomes a conclusion from truth and you speak from wisdom,
while the animal inside is captured, it is totally imprisoned.
Live absent of most desire,
things seem less dire.
Isolated once you cut the wire.

When you see the absurdity of people pretending they're the best,
when the clarity of their attitude begins to manifest,
you'll realize what they're truly involved in: a pissing contest.
