Which is the right way?
The rough route with sharp stones
The smooth route with the slippery oil?
Or the cool road built with a painful patience?
II
Which is the right way?
Rebellion to conquer slavery
Battle to kill desires
Or dialogue to smoothen seams?
Which is the right way?
Which is the right way?
III
Bliss is an expensive kiss
Which, as flies sitting on sugar, feeds on work
On patience
On humility
On sacrifices
Yet many want a goal without a run
IV
Mouths can curse and bless
As teeth watch and tongues stir
A choice calls from all angles
Heed your best to get a chest
Which reliably follows through your hollows
