No NIRVANA for me

   I've drawn up the bridge  and  flooded the moat,
     I've clanged shut the iron gates of my mind.

      Pulled down the shutters on the twin windows to my soul.
       All gates of perception, have I tried to lock bar and seal.

         From whence, then, this ray, penetrates some hidden desire?
         which ***** in my armor has given in to greed?

          Greed of a better self,  greed of the best for others,
         Boundaries of greed merging, into one another.
