Guard
What protects more than the mind?
What makes life less hard
Is the thing that thinks,
Of knowledge drinks,
And paints spaces clean once scarred.
A coffee from a kind hand
Makes for a promise
When the dollars kiss
And bars every rebuke and reprimand.
That sweet philosopher’s stance
Of trading with others
Apart from words voiced by mothers
Is the selfishness in the dance.
The reason for private use
Is to show how to join
At the exchange of each and every coin
That sacrifice is evil, refuse.
Self-interest is the way.
It stands for what’s right
And is the mind’s might.
Egoism is here to stay.
