Lust, anger and greed: The barriers to self-growth - Quintains
QUINTAINS With greed, lust, and rage taking hold, A sad, bitter story unfolds. Ego's hard shell, Where love cannot dwell, A life turning meaningless 'n cold. A mind caught in wanting's mad chase, Finds focus dissolves in disgrace. Delusions abound, Laziness is found, And doubt steals its rightful place. A mind lost in worldly delight, Found joy turned to sorrowful plight. Withdrawing, it sees, True peace comes with ease, On the middle path, shining so bright.
