Illusion

--- Illusion ---

 Meet your guest!  I am your friend.
 Together - We - until the End.
 I am your mind!  'Control' I send.
 It’s Me - not You – the shamans blend.

 I control your arm – your feet – your hand.
 The path of which you think you’ve planned.
 Pre-ordained by Me is where you’ll land.
 In sky - on ground - in sea – on sand.

 You stumble through your programmed day
 With little doubt ‘twas all your way
 While ‘I’ – in here – do make the play.
 ‘I’ control your actions night through day.
 
 You’re rejecting this – thinking false?
 Try reaching down.  Feel my pulse.
 ‘Tis I – the this – the other – else.
 ‘I’ - not You – would cause convulse.

 Who causes flinch when you get burned?
 While you’re asleep life’s my concern.
 Why must resist what’s being learned?
 My place within I think I’ve earned!

 It’s Me!  ‘I’ beat the heart - expel the pee.
 The poop of what you should-not-be.
 It is ‘I’ - the senses four – plus see.
 Be sure to capitalize the ‘I’ in Me!
