Analysis of Stationary
How to change fixed convictions
Show the things from another side
When people keep claiming to be right
While in fact, with their every stride
They sink into circling reflections
Following a forever narrowing path
With all sight besides it blocked
Their thinking staying sternly locked
Into this single direction, docked
at the explosive station of wrath.
Only a strong spark can alter that.
