The Pepperman and the Demanding
I OPENED A DOOR
TO THE NEXT WORLD WHERE
A FEW CONTROLLED
THE REST DIDN'T CARE.
SUSPICIOUS LIKE THOUGHTS
SURROUNDED MY BEING.
AS IF TO ASK
WHAT AM I SEEING?
THOUGHTS AND EYES
FOLLOWED ALONG.
AS IF I JUST MIGHT
DISCOVER WHAT'S WRONG..
THEN SUBTLY THE FEW
STARTED MAKING A MOVE.
AS IF THEY ALL,
HAD SOMETHING TO PROVE.
THEY SUGGEST I SUBMIT
DROP TO MY KNEES.
DO AS THEY SAY
NOT AS I PLEASE.
RESISTANCE WAS FUTILE.
BUT I DIDN'T CARE..
I UNLEASHED MY THOUGHTS
AND MADE THEM AWARE
BEING IS THOUGHT
THOUGHTS ARE BEING.
IMAGINATION
IS WHAT YOU ARE SEEING.
WHEN IMAGINATION
IS OUT OF CONTROL.
PSYCHOSIS APPEARS
IN THE EYES OF, WHO KNOWS.
JUST LIKE THE UNIVERSE.
OUR IMAGINATION EXPANDS.
UNTILL YOU ENCOUNTER
THOSE WHO REFUSE YOUR DEMANDS.
IT ALTERS ONES BEING.
IT CHANGES ONES THOUGHTS.
IT GOES AGAINST TIME AND
ALL WE WERE TAUGHT.
CONTROL OVER ME
WOULD BE MENTALLY INSANE.
THAT'S WHY PSYCHOPATHS
ARE CONSIDERED INANE.
AS WE TRAVEL THROUGH TIME
WE SEEK UNDERSTANDING.
IN A WAY CURIOSITY
IS ALSO DEMANDING.
I OPENED A DOOR.
I CAN EXIT THE SAME.
GIVING THANKS TO BEING
AND BEING EXPLAINED.
