In uncontrolled jealousy
Crocodile teeth and a wide throat.
Why rush to fall into them?
Is it not better, in emotions subdued,
To stand proud —
To save someone and rescue oneself.

With an even bearing, a lifted face,
A well-aimed word and a clean gaze.
Not to surrender oneself, and those bent by fate
To help
By personal example.

Those paralyzed by feelings
In love, in finances, at work,
Surrounding oneself with healthy thoughts,
To point the way out for soul and flesh.
