Dare I think for myself

[Jae Mc Donnell]

Edit 1
Do tell me, which one shall fall prey?
The ones whose devils tear at their throat
Setting fire to every sense and thought
Whilst whipping them to enslavement

Or the ones who sit in comfort
Of the body, mind, and spirit
As demons play friend, and counsel
Distracting minds with their sparkle

Or should we stand always aware
Treating both as teacher, and foe
Whilst being self-mindful, and astute
Failing only by lack of thought

Do tell me, which one shall fall prey?
The ones whose devils tear at their throat
Setting fire to every sense and thought
Whilst whipping them to submission

Or the ones who sit in comfort
Of the body, mind, and spirit
As demons play friend, and council
Distracting eyes with their sparkle

Should we stand constantly aware?
Treating both as teacher, and foe
Whilst being self-mindful, and astute
Stand we fall prey only to self
