CLAIRVOYANCE


The essence of my soul only shines through in a glimpse

Covered by actions of a misguided mental perception

My soul wrestles with being it’s universal self

In this distortedly jaded understanding of reality.

Well trained politeness provides a false embrace of compassion

Forcing my soul into a dissolving visual of its existence

Broken and scattered in this bloated vessel

The energy embodied has lost its luster

Possession of disposable accessories stifles ones evolution

A continued misconception of this skillfully placed inception

The system of capitalism has become an unstoppable machine

That has developed its own conscience driven by the idea of itself

Value and worth are as oil and water in this blender of animation

Both needed to sustain efficient operation of this cultural engine

Shining as only a child can my soul fights back into cohesion

Impacting and directing, my soul divorces a well taught mindset

Releasing my inhibited displaced core on its own recognizance

I now stand firmly rooted in that which endowed life upon me.
