Egal Bohen - Understanding

Don’t
Make more of things
That happen
Make them always
Less to be
For to exaggerate
In passion
Is a trap
Life sets for thee
To what end
Would you so travel
Thinking only
Of thyself
Thinking not
The side of others
Their position
All things else
Contemplate
Your opposition
Does it mean
So much to thee
Is thy ego
That much greater
Than understanding
Given free
