Immersed

Deeply immersed in my thoughts thinking about the depth of my emotions, shallow notions emerge to the surface to breathe, but quickly disperse My verses are for elastic minds that are able to form solid opinions, as the battle between words are intense & deeper than oceans The nature of life weighs heavily on my mind as I scale subjects that are out of the norm, but social norms continue to intrude taking shape in many forms Society's minions deeply engrossed in their servitude, offer their services in the form of empty words, but I'm not interested in comprehending these verbs All talk & no action is what my mind tells me while I watch hollow promises be rescinded, as the world slips further into descension This dimension is odd & in my search for even planes, I've found the numbers don't add up, but how do I validate those claims? The value of sold dreams remains to be seen, but I'm done looking toward consuming more lies & as the tithes add up we're just fed more lies If honesty is the best policy, why is it so hard to shine the light of truth when illumination should be one of the goals we teach to our youth? Truth is a universal language but it's controversial & most stay in the box until the ropes of denial come full circle & ties
