What Our Memories Have Revealed
Life is like a magnet. We are
drawn to the worlds promises.
But the attraction to the dark side
reveals inner insecurities.
Wicked corruption lures
innocent souls into vicious
immorality. When will we all
connect without deprivation?
There is little truth to temptation
in regards to our actions.
Prior beliefs interact with
the chemistry of scientific
realities. We are born pure
but grow old with remorse
with all our distant descendants.
We find relief in the seduction
of charisma, while our souls
long for redemption.
Fear triggers hunger.
Hunger triggers regret.
Regret triggers despondency.
Despondency triggers our woe.
We are mesmerized by the
charms of the red fire from
down below. Thunder resides
deep in our inferno.
We are sliced with the swords
our memories have revealed.
