The Fight Within
We abuse, pollute and poison
to help us free our minds
pushing our bodies beyond all reason
a starvation of kind
the brain the all important I
the housing just a host
so when the self gives up on life
the spirit becomes a ghost.
Our buildings far from temples
though we think we are gods
the message sent is mental
our roles reversed for dogs
trying to climb the steeple
to dizzy heights sublime
the ink injection lethal
we can't rewind the time.
