I divided myself in seven ways
Separating each part contained within
And so then each in turn displays
A rebellion against the others begin
Baring madness, laughter and pain
Loving, sadness, hunger and labour
All combined to make whole again
In happy submission to each neighbour
Based on a Khalil Gibran parable of the same title.
Better to be tempted and resist, than be disappointed.
Jubal, Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein
