Mind Over Matter To Life Over Death

(Mind to Death)                     
     
                          From thy mind pour
              thoughts of life's most precious loss
                  I come in peace a broken mass.
                      My journey without matter
                      has left me tired and weak,
                            sadden by a world 
                       great minds use to seek.
                  Within a once humble life exist
                  many dimensional minds a twist.
                          The life so beautiful 
                          minds once sought   
                          matter has injected 
                              death over life, 
                         mind's worse thought.

(Death the reply)
                      
                    Thy death come but once to
                minds of souls old, young and lost. 
                        Death holds no grudge, 
                                 no prejudice
                               no love or hate 
                           for matters over life
                 There once exist minds so strong 
                              amidst this world
                The seeds not planted did not fare well
                   The drugs fed upon thy grounds
                       Breeds greed upon a world
                                  gone wrong               
                             Only time will tell 
                      how much longer will exist
                  mind over matter to life over death
               For the matter which the mind now feeds
                   will continue to breed death over life
                           for all physical beings.

Thank you Bill. I worked on this for two days. Driven by my power to save a world lost to all the negatives, drugs, war, incest, hate, greed. Seeing thing in the reverse when matter controls the mind and people seek death over life.
