In Another Time

In another time the fog around our understanding, melts away by the hot sun of confusion, leaving only the naked truth of what is, a life contained by its limited years of existence. This struggle alone should be enough, yet is complicated by the nurtured birth of our insanity. To understand we are nothing more than Nature's ability to look at itself with satisfaction or disdain while it passes judgment on whether to create a new species all together. Our hearts and minds are the instruments of our own undoing struggling to comprehend every illusion we create, kept silent by armies we establish to rule. So we arm ourselves without care or concern, counting bullets, measuring the height of walls, frightened by the depth of our depravity for one another. We hide in chosen corners, days pass, years pass, until one final breath that ends our confusion..forever. In another time..peace contest In Another Time
