Trials of evolutionary fixtures

Harden up your heart,
and become mundane,
to grow initial prejudices
into blooming indifference.

Chase away your subjections,
throw away your criticisms,
and mold your conscience to
be strong and careful (not to wilt).

Be trite and laconic;
yielding from the eye's biases
and the ear's lingering voices,
that is, of the common mouth.

Exhale your grudges and foolery,
then transfigurate from what is material
to something so profound and holy.
Mold, then, into innocence;
in its most physical of forms.

Basically, don't be afraid to TELL IT LIKE IT IS; yield from feeling emotions if the job needs to be done. Be honest. Be straightforward. Harden up your heart.
