The Canopy

the canopy of comfort caravan of curruption

leads to a path of no return a road of self-destruction

in this crowded cafeteria no creature has a table to itself

and in this darkened forrest of death the canvass that shutters out the light is its shelf

your soul is like a forrest without a summer

and the beat that you hear has no drummer

your ignorance is as vivid as abstract thoughts not yet seen

and the desires that you seek are nothing more than mere illusions conveyed by dreams
