Mind Over Matter & Duty Or Discipline

Facing hard facts, what matters most, what's seen as real or the ghost? Guests of a hotel or the host? There are many who lack nice things. What they have they'll desperately cling. To have & have not you're a King! Do we own the things in our view? Or do those things of yours own you? Are these things of ours old or new? Are our things solid like matter? Or are they like thoughts that scatter? If seen too much does it shatter? Our greatest treasures we will find. Are the pure values of the mind. With our lives are we cruel or kind?

Our physical world we create. Seen & unseen are mental states. Does what we have, grow or deflate? To ask source you will hear "balance." This is the truth's form of defense. Truth calculates each word's expense. Most of us love thank you & please. To be ungracious is disease. Do we respect those on their knees? Do we respect the things we own? Do we keep them hidden or shown? Was our stuff given or a loan? What about life in our bodies? Is our life refined or shoddy? Are we spiritual or fleshy? Is our power touch or mental? Is our strength sense or physical? Are we false or empirical?

We know the physical through thought. Do we know what is & what's not? Can we sense the cold from the hot? Super strength is an awesome gift. But with our minds tons we can lift! To set a sure course do not drift. The daylight is bright & wavy. The darkness is hard & heavy. Unlock our power, be ready! Our true strength will come from resolve. With our minds, dark matter dissolve. To achieve our best we involve. Fixed on the mind, we disappear. If lost in thought, brains become gears. If unaware we lose our years. Focus on matter gets us stuck. When life's heavy we lose our luck. Our dead weight we must find & pluck!

Each person has things they must do. Everyday these lists become new. To get them done they must hop to! To ignore these things, they pile up. We may run if we've had enough. Running from duties gets us stuck. To keep our word, life is complete. Fulfill duty & we'll find sleep. Do work well & life is replete. Our duties we do for others. Through duties we learn, our brothers. By duty vices we smother. Duty is not always easy. Sometimes ones you trust are sleazy. When life gets heavy, be breezy!

Duties done well indeed endure. Strong connections in life procured. Trust in those above is secure. We may choose to speak or listen. Express duty or discipline. A choice made is how we begin. For some all things are duty. With no desire, miss what could be. They blind their eyes to beauty. Through discipline we have power! Each obstacle we devour. Every day we max each hour. With character we show our stuff. For success we can't get enough. Firm in purpose we'll call each bluff. True discipline comes from the heart. It means we choose to do our part. With focus fixed, we don't restart.

Discipline isn't overnight. Without it we will lose each fight. Showing discipline shows we're bright! Discipline becomes our being. Once we have controlled our feelings. Blind to pain we will start seeing. Discipline becomes a fire. Unrelenting we may tire. Our character will inspire! Without it we do have nothing. We're tossed to & froe like a swing. With it we fly on golden wings! We can't replace true discipline. It's solid gold, we will glisten. With its strength we will always win!
