Faculties of the Mind.

Intelligence is an invidious tree
From where crimes branch out.
Emotions are like chain snatchers,
Pulling away one's peace of mind.
Memory is mostly a lumber room
Locked up with longstanding trash.
Understanding is an unyielding viral,
Corrupting mind's critical junctions,
With myriad misunderstanding modules,
That block chances of retrieval of facts.
Alertness is ever the arch rival of peace,
Arresting one's craving for poise and rest.
Commonsense is an encoding,decoding device,
Caricaturing others' flaws at one's assumptions.
The tug off war between the brain and the heart
Appears arguably,as the palpitating beats of life;
As and when the brain knocks at the heart's door,
Heart's beats scale the pressure and fall of reasoning.
