Factual Existence

Closing my Eyes
The rapidity of my mind
Caresses the Earth
The mountains
The Plains
From Sea
To Shining Skyscraper
Birds Flying so Free
Never to worry
of the Urban Predators of life
Only survival
Befits the existence
of the lonely soul
Who extracts himself
From a society
Abused by its inability
to exercise
Restraint
and protect itself
From itself
A suicide
Waiting to happen
Unleashing a Fury
Only to be controlled
by a nervous hand
Lost in a Wilderness
With no beginning
And no end
To its beginning
Blindly dazed
Metaphoric
In a universe
Of a closed eyelid
Struggling to open
Yet blinded by
The light
Of 
Factual Existence
