Your Mental Gate
Just outside your mental gate
Is a misty place forbidden
With insight and wisdom hidden
That can clearly change your fate
Choose to rise out of this haze
Which yields redundant stagnation
Dare to use your imagination
Out of ruts new trails blaze
Reconsider held belief
Climb on top of your own mountain
Drink deeply from your own fountain
From brain-washing see relief
Examine goals, make them fresh
Contemplate your life's direction
Find a heart and mind connection
Synchronize them till they mesh
Ethics and values extant
The standards by which you measure
Beauty, goodness and truth as treasure
Could mature, not be infant
