Swirling and howling
senseless whirlwind of savage
rage, sowing chaos
and terror
on a trail strewn with
destruction
force of waste, courage
will faze, tame and chain your rage
and prevail at last

Swirling and howling
senseless whirlwind of savage
rage, sowing chaos
and terror
on a trail strewn with
destruction
force of waste, courage
will faze, tame and chain your rage
and prevail at last
The mind that wills will win
willing is the wheel of winning
The mind that wills wilts not
weaning itself away from the whims of mere wishing
it conceives, believes,
engages and achieves
A mind that wins wills.
Imaginative, driven
fired by belief and faith
it aligns itself to
the wheel and will of the maker,
to the wisdom of the creator
who lights the path, the rivers,
the hills and valleys through
which we all transient wayfarers trudge and journey
the winning mind wills itself to wade through
highs and lows
morally high, like Kant
avoiding cant and can’t
to win a crown
in the end,
at the two ends
