Would You Believe
Would you believe
words will never describe
the block our minds place.
To blockade the truth
to control our thoughts
so as to keep from delirium,
from the truth
Would you believe
that life is created
not by God
not by science
by the space we inhabit,
the mind.
To comprehend life
is to overrule the mind,
to comprehend existence,
is to overrule the mind.
To understand the mind is not possible,
the mind sets what the mind understands.
And so we will never understand
we live within a set of rules to keep from madness,
a mind created to prevent insanity.
A mind kept prisoner by the rules set in place, by the mind set to stay
so that we never understand
and never comprehend
the madness that would befall
if we knew the truth.
The mind made life, and outside it's existence, we will never find that the mind
is all but is nothing.
