Control, Who Needs It?
Bro. Tony Antony Kanimangalath
A river knows its course
and flows not off its way.
When the evening comes,
For the moon the sun makes way,
Each plays its part and knows its role
None strays away from its control.
This is the harmony that man is seeking today
While he juggles a thousand tasks each day.
Mossive machines & structures he has built.
To control them he has just a button or a switch.
A bridle for a horse,
Buttons for a crane
From gears in a sports car
To hydraulics on a plane
Need I write tales of his control
We are daily users of the swipe and scroll.
To Find, buy, watch or skip
All we do is search, scroll, or click
Much has he toiled to control things around him.
That he often forgets things within that control him.
Greed, Jealously, Lust and Pride
He's been subdued by them all.
This is the truth of his inmost being
Guilty of a few or of them all
Look within yourself, O man.
Your wandering mind is what needs control
Watch the thoughts that enthrall you
For they are what control you.
Hold tight its reins, don't let it wander
Upon thoughts that cause anxiety, don't' you ponder
Think about what's right instead,
What is noble, pure and lovely.
It'll fill you with heavenly peace
Your days will be joyful and lively.
Forget not therefore what ancient wisdom says
Let your heart be pure and straight be your ways
Caution your mind and awaken your soul
For like a city without walls is a man without self-control.
