Beat drums
Beat the blues
Kill boredom
Kill anger,
squashing its ugly head in one forceful stomp
Swat the fly on
the wall
Engage in that
very instant of your life with enthusiasm and energy
Slap away
listlessness
Slap yourself
into being aware and receptive, of the temptations of every waking moment
Murder hatred,
in cold blood
Snuff the life
out of jealous intent, without any remorse
Cheat
yourself into happiness
With
sunny visions, thoughts of good times
Rob
somebody off sadness
With
a smile, a kind gesture, a gift
Steal
a thought
Through
the window of your mind, into the pleasantness of your past
Steal
furtive glances, with a loved one
Across
a room full of people, known and unknown
Steal
a kiss
On
a busy street, in a rushed corridor, in the solitude of your room
Strangle
the last breath out of disillusionment
Wake
up, rise up, face up; meet life in its corner, on your terms
Slaughter
the monster that resides within
There
is too much goodness in you not to get
the
better of all demons inside and out
Get
intoxicated on the opiate of pure, unadulterated, unconditional love
Let
passion be your poison, perseverance your innate power
Hate
laziness, indifference, depravity of mind, the low depths of human greed,
the
high price of hubris; hate them all
Resent
bitterness and rancour, mash out malice and barbarity from your very being
Shoot
a mental picture of contentment, bliss and genuine kindness
Tuck
it away in the indelible albums of your mind
Shoot
yourself in the foot for a stupid step you take
A
silly decision you make
Gamble
away the sources of your sorrow
Trade
in the stuff that brings you joy, real joy that can only reside in the bottom
of your heart
Conspire
with the Universe to make it an ideal world; or at the very least a happy,
peaceful one
For
boy and beast, nymph and nature, man and woman alike!
