ode to the life

by enlightened - Cancer


To something that had been done
A thought that had been conceived 
And brought forth
Along the path of the north

To the idea of all as one 
A gesture of things received
Unity of mind and spirit
Singularity, and the fear of it

To the people hiding from innocents 
An emotion, dry with false reality
Beliefs concentrated, steered, and obeyed
Children unaware and afraid

To things experienced in a sense
A thought sought or insight of morality
The freedom of mankind
The torturous prison left to find

To the existing, underlying oppressions
Overlooked and ignored
Fueling immortal flames
Providing pictures for our frames

To the insane and therapy sessions
A whole existence in a ward
Misunderstood thought
Or the forgotten war, still fought 

To the powers of all that is great
And the fatal decision of destiny
I give my love and yet my hate
I refused the silver plate
Ever plagued with constant debate
Loose cannons of memory, which rest in me.
