18. The story of my common sense

```

When my common sense

Was fast asleep,

I lived in the animal kingdom.

I felt and filled my hungry abyss.

When I surrendered

My common sense to my Inner Pilot,

Peace-sea, sun-world, love-Heaven

At long last

Discovered their permanence

In my God-hunger supreme. ```
