There is a bright light shining,
A spark from stone on stone,
You have this keen sense of awareness
Of one and only one.
Preferences and perspectives,
A new messiah to attest,
Gifted with entitlement,
Head and shoulders above the rest.
The darkness goes unmentioned,
Comparison, a wicked smile.
Every other path rejected,
Utter conviction insisted upon
For the sake of clarity and style.
Knee deep in foggy notions,
Hip deep in editorial opinions,
Waste deep in rabid postulations,
Neck deep in blind delirium…
Each circuit disconnected,
Social association, disengaged,
Other people here to observe, to serve,
Or to get the hell outta the way!
Disregarded by way of indifference,
All bonds are set to expire.
Jumpstarts from other hearts,
No longer required.
It is a teasing of your intellect.
Our vision is Jekyll and Hyde.
The walls of your bubble, a double mirror,
You within,
And the world without you…
On the outside.
This is a book of free verse poetry that addresses the seven main tests in life and offers some sensible solutions to passing those tests with minimal discomfort.
