This Need Is Hidden By a Shadow
This need is hidden by a thick shadow,
it conflicts with awareness so shallow;
my searches for unexplained truths
revealed facts I had doubted all along,
was I blamed for creating absurd myths,
defining life a multitude of doubtful events
that decide whether or not one survives...
pushing through a noisy and frantic throng?
Allow worry, arrogance, power, and impatience
control you and you'll have ambivalence;
recant your luck and favor whenever doors won't open
for an easy escape from folly and death...
instead of silencing words and fear harsh judgment:
be aware that what's kept inside becomes regret!
What was the real purpose of mad Macbeth...
to draw the sword with the intention to kill Duncan?
Ponder the source of your insanity today,
and suppress the urge to harm and slay!
This need is hidden by a thick shadow,
how priceless it is not having been discovered yet,
and until freedom is declared by I will shout it:
feeling free, spreading the wings of a sparrow!
