IT IS EASY TO BECOME A STRANGER

It is easy to become a stranger
First you must sacrifice the intimate moment
And relinquish all thoughts of organisation

You must pretend to be a fighting king
Taking counsel only from the innocent tribe of self

There can be no going back
Upon the moment of the written word
The excuses of the past
And the many unlearned lessons
That you find there

You must disassociate
And separate feeling from the essence of myth

There are sacrifices to be made
At each new altar of desire
And you must wait there
However long, for the signal of defeat

Friendship cannot help you master this new found discipline
It will not act upon your need
Only leave you wanting more
From this imaginary world of slaves

You must deny the past
And forever recreate a more permanent future
And fulfil the broken promise
That you made in the perfect moment of isolation

To truly become a stranger
You must not be distracted from your mission
You must approach it with zeal
And close down the opposing voice
