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.

The question marks were suppose to be smiley faces. Don't know what happened.

Sometimes you just have to look at the flip side to make sense of it all. A poetess never confesses!!! lol Thank you Eric ??????

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.
