Earthly Matters

I'm a guest in this earthly tomb, just one of many inhabiting fleshly rooms We've come to a place where the flesh is doomed until our ascension when the soul's exhumed We're consumed by earthly things but don't realize that we're used for food Some are confused by material dues but the All protects both wise & fool Applying pressure only builds the ladder that can surely be used to rise above Manipulation of this pliable matter is easy to see but only viewed once you've unplugged Some struggle to see even though eyes are clear as blinders were added to obscure the view Understand these blocks are a series of boxes that are meant to contain the whole of you Since the day you were born, they've had a hold of you & stay attached with invisible chains Once you see that binding can be easily broken the way you see life will quickly change
