Peace Of Mind Among The Times

Peace of Mind Among The Times

There’s a concept forming upon the horizon 
A sunset warning me to focus my eyes upon 
A notion of antiquity to seemingly delight upon 
While the elements of iniquity I can find only respite from 

Magnitudes of promise designed to integrate with time 
Attitudes of pretense that the delusional consider to be refined
Platitudes of nonsense that only tire my mind 
Gratitude for the confluence that keeps me perpetually kind 

Communication at the station as the guards are kept at bay 
Reunification of the consecration that I have always wanted to remain
Captivation of the affirmation that I continue to abstain 
Condemnation for the demonstrations that demand the individual feels the pain 

Saturation of conceptual notions raining down from the sky 
Maturation of effectual devotion as the tears well in my eyes
Agitation of the perpetual emotion that we contemplate when we die 
Elevations to observe the forward motions that are heaving a collective sigh 

Consolidator of a conclusion that was meant to be provocative 
Demonstrator or a delusion that is missing the prerogative 
Innovator of an illusion that illustrates the performative 
Discriminator of the seclusion that defines the undemonstrative 

Nevermind the time that’s wasted while we’re all looking away 
Stay refined in the complacent looks you avoid along the way 
Disinclined to live adjacent to those who always have to have their say 
Peace of mind prevents the impatient from disturbing me today
