ignoring cross or sickle waved ominously

Ever present

Creation's insight

Susceptible to shadows which weave intricately 'gainst what better left to the naked eye.

Remove such stiflings so that the stars might shine through the soul,
Seeping into mine own.

Oh vision, where do...

Crazy plans were made
some of us raced off
to fulfill half-baked dreams,
Some became causeless rebels,

Crazy plans were made
some of us raced off
to fulfill half-baked dreams,
Some became causeless rebels,

Getting poorer and poorer:
A plant facing stem borer
