The Uncontrollable Poem by Somanathan Iyer

lags behind anything on earth
in keeping pace with speed of mind
faster than gales faster than lightning
moves the mind in tossing the brain
roams it freely to places of its choice
dreams it freely in possessing all impossible
no force on earth prohibits its movement
no place familiar can restrict its ventures
good or bad mind treks all along
fair or unfair mind breaks all barriers
never it settles to rest in peace
always it shuttles across the fence
hell and heaven are products of mind
strangled is the life with vagaries of mind
none can boast of an unstraying mind
seldom one escapes its untold bickering
hard to find any who mastered the mind
salutes they deserve for keeping it in line!
