I Try To Establish Understanding

I try to establish strong mental footholds In resemblance to fort knox physical strongholds Through repentance I lost the spiritual blindfold So every sentence I mock material billfolds I seek an understanding of answers beyond the proven Discreet but demanding how choices response woven Steep iceberg floating trying to go past frozen Deep dreamer mind roaming wake to visions unspoken I walk a new direction to relieve my transgressions I look toward heaven to receive a better connection My poetic expressions are close to schools lessons Not prophetic but blessings do follow these sessions I choose my own path and I fold up my coattails So whether tears or laugh others stand behind guardrails If life is simple math I want some calculus from Yale No test I cannot pass its like the answers are wholesale
