Immersed
Deeply immersed in my thoughts thinking about
the depth of my emotions,
shallow notions emerge to the surface to breathe, but
quickly disperse
My verses are for elastic minds that are able to form
solid opinions,
as the battle between words are intense & deeper
than oceans
The nature of life weighs heavily on my mind as I scale
subjects that are out of the norm,
but social norms continue to intrude taking shape
in many forms
Society's minions deeply engrossed in their servitude,
offer their services in the form of empty words,
but I'm not interested in comprehending these verbs
All talk & no action is what my mind tells me while I
watch hollow promises be rescinded,
as the world slips further into descension
This dimension is odd & in my search for even planes,
I've found the numbers don't add up, but how do I
validate those claims?
The value of sold dreams remains to be seen, but I'm
done looking toward consuming more lies
& as the tithes add up we're just fed more lies
If honesty is the best policy, why is it so hard to shine
the light of truth
when illumination should be one of the goals we teach
to our youth?
Truth is a universal language but it's controversial
& most stay in the box
until the ropes of denial come full circle & ties
