How can you teach

How can you teach the eyes to see only what they are supposed to,
When all they have, is the vision of what they are not to see

How can you teach the mind not to think of what is proscribed
When the mind minds not the transgressions in its trance

How can you teach a heart not to dance to a cadence
When there is no control over the symphony of its beats

How can you teach the memory not to overwhelm the thoughts
When  hijacking  the senses becomes the favoured occupation

How can you teach the self not to tear to pieces 
When it consoles to have someone to piece you back together.
