CAPTIVE MIND AND BODY

 An elephant calf is tied to a chain,
while its mother nearby roams free.
Its tugs and pulls are all in vain -
It's leg is bound to the trunk of a tree.

Its body is now weak and feeble -
In mind it is stronger than he wud' ever be.
In futility it kicks off mud and pebble,
while its mother doesn't heed its plea.

A captive body creates a jailed mind -
Thoughts and beliefs get brittle  too.
We need a spark to ignite, flare to find,
so the mind leads the body through.

It is how on us actions take its toll
and make us believe otherwise.
Wrong notions stray us from our goal,
while true belief would h'v given the prize.
