Battlefield of Our Mind

Battlefield of Our Mind
Never ending battles in the mind
Hearts wounded, lives entwined
A war fare fought in ignorance
Authorities overthrown by our benevolence
Bodies weakened from senses blind
Soldiers stand strategically aligned
Overlooking the wisdom of what takes precedence
Ego builds our false confidence
Straightening our frame and silencing our mind
Leaving past memories consciously behind
With efforts sincerely made to regain our intelligence
We stake claims to distinguish our providence
Narrowing our focus on peace re-defined
Spirit resurrected and energies combined
Techniques modified to increase our tolerance
Reminding ourselves of our spiritual significance
On the battlefield of our mind
Succumb not to darkness enshrined
Traveling progressively, establishing a balance
Golden Stars of wisdom exchanged for our perseverance
