SHACKLES OF MIND

Neither ahead, nor behind;

All shackles,

I have created in mind.

Like a clean slate,

Never I meet a mate,

 

Anger , anguish

Jealousy and hate

Prejudice and pride
Are in  my mind.

 

Neither ahead,

Nor behind.

All right and wrong

is in my mind.

 

I am cleaning

Purity I am feeling.

 

In relationship and

in the world  out;

 

I now know

I cannot live against

But with the life’s flow.
though very slow

I care my words,

Mind more they may not over blow.

Now I am patient and tolerant

More loving and affectionate

 

I love humans,

birds and animals alike,
As I loved in youth
My  fancy bike.

 

Now I believe  

Neither ahead, nor behind,

All shackles,
I have created in my mind.
