Demarcation LInes

Demarcation Lines

. for public domain


With demarcation lines obscured
from what is clear, what is absurd,
what makes sense, what makes no sense,
our soul's exchequer bears the expense.

And so too our capacity for dreams,
to treasure our own, not another man's schemes,
or programmed plots from computer game scenes,
or scripted stories on tv screens.

Loose the sense of who you are,
but make it your own decision,
not imposed by those who regard
your authenticity with derision.
