Mind over matter
We all have it
Or at least
we can almost grasp it
*
But sometimes
Egos grow too much
People start to
really lose touch
*
Like our own invasive species
Spiny, prickly weeds just creeping
*
With our defence
They will not reach here
We stay on our guard
While our mind remains
under heavy matter
**
Mind over matter
Make it happen
Within reason
it will all add up
*
In real time
The show knows so much
Actors have to
Get out and push
*
We learn when our lessons teach us
Tiny, little seeds of freedom
*
With our good sense
The path is clear here
We have to be smart
The day still contains
much more heavy matter
**
Life is teaching
We can escape with all of our minds
With our safe space
and with our safe time
*
We can keep pace
And have a life
Rewarding and good
It is how we think about it
That is the most important input
*
Equity can be
a better vision
If we can bring it
into our mission
For those that balance
And accept the challenge
Between thoughts
and life
there is no division
*
Mind over matter
It is fact here
Thinking it through
Past idle chatter
