Unplug Me

I'm unplugged for now, im free. This virtual situation can be poisoning, truly. I try not to let it capture me Its imagery, can be so damn pretty. So if sometimes you dont see me Know that its just temporary. I've unplugged every inch of me From the cell phone, net to HDTV I do not want to get stuck in, a trance treaty With the entertainment, industry. These subliminal messages are attacking me I just needed, a little time to breathe. To break this systematic energy, Bring me back to reality & focus on whats Really important to me. All that glitters is enticing, indeed. But its perceived, to make one happy. A devised plan, through the enemy. These companys do not love you or me Its just a perception, of what they want You to believe. Electronic warfare control, is there gain To achieve. Hold on to whats tangible, in truth. Life is to fragile. Our mind is our armour, If only we , choose to use. So today I can say, im not mechanically free But im thankful, I took some time out TO UNPLUG ME....

More temptations at every turn. I used to tell my wife when they have holographic strippers in the living room. Old guys will be dropping dead all over the place.It is a wild crazy ride when reality and fantacy are so inter active . Keep your head clear and keep on thinking free! Cherie. Michael
