What is Of the Mind

What is the mind but a battlefield
constructing strategies in which it takes the upper hand
leading astray of the heart
twisting ideas into thoughts of grandeur
exploiting the very being that otherwise you are trying to suppress
you know, the one in which keeps you in the realm of negativity
striving so hard to keep you as a slave of war
when will you say that THIS HAS GONE TOO FAR?
when will you re-strategize the board into more favorable positions?
dropping the ego
choosing instead to love, to create, to transcend the notion of being people of war
When will you choose to no longer be ruled by your mind
instead work with it, alongside your heart
finding more favorable desires
positively BEcoming instead of continuously dying
...for what?
