Pain

Pain is a preacher protecting our will,
not to be ignored by the use of a pill
Finding the source is a matter of course
for inside the chaos of "must" and "should"
hides a hopeful "would if I could"
The options are many, and you can choose any!

Pain is there with a purpose to teach
us as students of life to reach
an existence in health and no disease,
and if we really listen - inner peace.

Listen we must, and in pain trust
to guide our way from the path of prey
to avoid it as hell, and hence get well
Liberation from all disturbance and anguish!
A state of ataraxia is well worth a wish!
