Riderless Chariot
A chariot is pulled
By a rebellious dark horse
And a spirited white horse
The central natural -
Passion in a man’s soul.
He keeps it locked away,
Told to endure, to be strong,
Hold fast to the order of reason,
In spite of pleasure and pain.
The agent and the function are fused.
The thing that makes blood surge in his veins.
Is neither bad nor good –
It’s all in how it’s directed.
Chasing after one or the other?
He wants to really live.
