Maintain Consciousness

MAINTAIN CONSCIOUSNESS

concentration has a deadly flaw
distraction brands our subterfuge
prescription drugs just lead to more
sedation erasing  sacred lucid truth


                       pick the sharp double edged sword
                       ultimately understanding the point
                       simply to focus on nothing stored
                       tempered blade by displaced taunt



keep eyes open for  just one more day
keep heart alive heed deaths blood drain
keep from floating adrift along the way                                                                                                                                                        focus sane and consciousness maintain
