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
