Almond Eyes

by FireFly - Libra

The order is in the way its controlled-
The clamping of the vices-
On either sides of the truth-
Compressing what can be said-

But people don’t have ears or eyes-
To care for the reasons-
Why the mystery becomes-
Ambiguous in their heads-
And those black almond holes-
Suck the truth into the vacuums–
They’ve contrived-

Clarity of thought is disturbed-
And a region in the brain-
Is thought to cause-
The hallucinations that tilt-
The axis of reason-

The wrestling with consciousness-
And with the mastery of illusion-
The smoke screen clears-
And the hand that waves the wand-
Is held by strings pulled by the order-
The order of nonexistence-
And they decide the fate-
Of your next encounter-


Reason for writing:

    This is one of those old ones
