The Monologue of Saul

The Monologue of Saul (A lone voice whispers) Have you ever wondered if your soul is just mirrored reflections Fragmented shards of an augmented reality A divine kaleidoscope of your own perceived ideas Of what to do to get to your version of heaven, and how to avoid hell? Overlaid onto a real-world environment Are you too logical to ever really understand, but just bravely parading around like another human being Locked into a social engineer's dream Trying to live within, and under its dark magical, mesmerising spell Hypnotized by whatever is subliminally repeated, on your handheld screens Slowly waiting unconsciously, before it's too late for spiritual understanding To return to just you To truly see there's more to life than chasing paper dreams Before you catch the last bus, to take you home to atone In The Great In-Between Where you'll be asked Did you live a life clean life or did something happen, that was unforeseen That caused you to live temporarily, unclean (C) Copyright John Duffy
