The self has the characteristic that it is an object to itself, and that characteristic distinguishes it from other objects and from the body.

Happy Health
Health carries happiness for some,
They master the cures for the ill,
The ill end their lives with a kindness
Due to skilful doctors all around the world.
Health combines our spirit and mind,
The body is attached for the annexation.
A characteristic may stand, all alone,
To hide the health of some asleep
In this world, or not in this world.
The body is against health if the soul states,
The statements are magnificent, hurray!

More Than Fast to Attack Without Facts
You should be the last to call someone a radical.
When you are more than fast to attack without facts.
To prejudge anyone based upon their appearance alone...
Is a characteristic of a fanatic on hormones.
And representing an outlook maintained...
By many who lay in the Sun,
As a ritual done...
Like it's a religious sabbatical.
And nothing you do is self examined at all.
Not from my re-assessed point of view.
You've been taught to believe you are superior.
But nothing interior clicks in your head...
Everything you do contradicts instead.
With a quick labelling of others,
You say you keep in your prayers.
I could swallow that if it wasn't hollow.
You should be the last to call someone a radical.
When you are more than fast to attack without facts.
To prejudge anyone based upon their appearance alone...
Is a characteristic of a fanatic on hormones.
And representing an outlook maintained...
By many who lay in the Sun,
As a ritual done...
Like it's a religious sabbatical.
