The Root

Your mind alone is hallowed ground,
As from its fields flow all
that's found;
Allow no thought of self therein,
And so do pluck the root of sin.

For the root of evil has no ground;
Comes from nowhere, can't be found;
Offers only false relief,
Finds its strength in false belief.

Only lives when eyes are closed,
When dark so comes and light it goes;
Holds the throne without a crown,
Stands alone and must come down.
