poem, thought provocative, control, freedom
Too much negativity around;
Global news, bad attitudes, blind ignorance;
It won’t stop, brings you down.

To be separate and not affected, we found the secret:
But it's wrong, can’t do it, or so I'm told.
Yet death broke the rules; to be free and rid the pain.

YOU CAN TOO: Courage said to the fool.
It’s just a game, no matter the name.
Written by select few, with rules to divide and confuse.

Self and control; joined at the hip, not meant to be crossed.
We’re conditioned at birth, by all good intent.
When you’ve had enough, ask what it meant.

You must DECIDE, don't look to others, the answer’s inside.
A Ravine of doubt and fear you will have to face.
But give it a go; it’s an illusion, a perception in space.

Right or wrong; there’s more at stake, matters not at all.
For EVOLUTION is the Sum between man’s ascension
And the depths of his fall.
