Beware the soul that has been broken open,
a good soul should not break so easily
beneath the weight of words that are spoken.
The mouths in this place will move ceaselessly,
let it be silent violence that breaks them.
There is rightness to that kind of ending
the weaker mind can be quickly condemned
but the soft flesh was made for expending.
Exalted are those who, in their trauma
discover that pain is tranquility
for the mind is the essence of Brahma
trapped inside the body’s fragility
be not afraid when the body succumbs
for there is greater suffering to come.
