706. When I listened

```

When I listened to all sides,

I pleased none.

When I listened to you,

And

Not to him,

You embraced me

And

He struck me.

When I listened to myself,

I poisoned my life.

When I listened to God,

I transcended my desire-life

And

God immortalised my aspiration-sun. ```
