In the Womb of Mind
Thought and Instinct combine
They are Sister and Brother
in a struggle with each other
Instinct fights for self preservation
Thought seeks peaceful mediation
One and the same, they are twin
one has to lose, for the other to win
Instinct wants to rule
but Thought is never cruel
She knows she will be made manifest
while her Brother fails the test
Thought bides her time
and will patiently wait
while Instinct rushes out
to meet a dismal fate
Thought ascends
high spiritual progression
while Instinct descends
into bestial regression
Instinct cries out:
"This is mine!"
Thought will pause and say:
"That's fine!"
The moral of this story goes like this
pay attention and youl'l live in bliss
When war rages in the Womb of Mind,
and Instinct tries to emerge ahead of time
Let the Lady come forth first
avoiding the human curse
It only takes 9 months
to give birth
but it takes a lifetime
to prove its' worth.
