So recently I heard that the present is past
And the future is now, a nudge to peruse fast
Maybe I should have been let into this data sooner
Maybe if I had subscribed earlier
But instead hobbling because of a mislocation of application
On my dislocation of information caused by a lagging foundation
Oh! As I see that tiny smiling crease, that silhouette through these solitary bars
My sight is magnified to the panacea
Simply mind formation
Simply learning to apprise your partis pris towards a defined location
An intense intention towards actualization
And it's effect, a genuflection of the spiritual
