COLLISION

The varied spirits in men

Are often the cause of clashes:

The impure hearts and minds 

Of human beings interact

And there evolves a definite reaction 

Of sympathy or antipathy;

Life takes its passionate meaning 

From these very collisions. 

When the vital element in one 

Meets its counterpart in another 

Instant rapport is achieved 

Or the fearsome sparks fly;

Soul touching the material plane 

Brings into being the ego

Resulting either in amiable accord 

Or foul fighting between fellows. 

Yet, the truth which escapes many of us 

Found by searching into the soul

Is that pure spirit opposes not itself 

But always has affection for its own form;

The solution, then, is to strive to wipeout 

Those subtle impurities which do defile

And enquiring into the essential reasons for 

Bad behaviour, eliminate all friction thereby.
