WITH ALL EYES ON THE CENTER

Folder: 
JOURNAL #9

turn on the news and you too can become quite easily

inspired

the unexplained and virtual mayhem in today's society

gets me all perked up and intensely wired

I have this incredible knack for topicating the mediocre

to the barely yet believed

upon the inner insight great success by the grace of

God can quite successfully be achieved

for he who knows his own limits possesses more than his

fellow man

so then it is his repetitive job to oversee that the basics are

covered to the last possible letter of each and every plan

certain laws of course form these general boundaries we each

must try to stay safely within

yet when crossed the conscious mind baths each guilt

like it were some clandestine dirty sin

actions are not nearly as awful as the (re)actions

to any even small dastardly deed

we simply become enemies of our own poisoned minds

unknowing victims you might say

through that of which we try to impede

earmarked forever into a most uncertain future by the

infinite number of satellites with their quick and

impersonal eyes for all current and pressing news

perhaps the end will rise one day to murder the means

that has so far only just managed to reconstruct our

previously uninvited views.......

how if we let it, the news media can seem like poison to the mind.
