Mocking Sky, Daring Earth

Earth and sky only give birth to Ego,
Endlessly deflating & inflating with evil & good
Never allowing even a moment's rest
As if dying within itself throughout the world.

For we lay down to die within their frame
Surrounding oneself with aimless desires
Pushed by the perverse power of ignorance
Because earth & sky squeeze & wring the heart.

Wanting nothing to do with them, I prefer voidness,
Not letting anything control heart and mind
Where's the value in good & evil, sky & earth,
When I have no need for a moment of Ego.
