Why so compelled to continue in this life?
What mundane attachments have been made
To impermanence and imperfection?

What drives one on to live this life?
What drives one on to take this life?

The same force drives one on to live
As drives one on to die:
The force of the thought.

Thought creates the attachments,
Thought creates the mundane and creates the
Need for more thought.

Thought creates more of what is needed
To hold one back from one’s true Life.

The more I think,
The more compelled I am to think.

When thinking in images of this earthly
Existance this existance must take hold
Must reign all thought.

When thinking I am compelled to live
This life or to take this life,
But never can this thinking free me from
This life.
