I. We strive to achieve domination of all things
II. Unaccepted reality pushes to chaos, which makes being: authentic
III. We learn True empowerment, in the acceptance/embrace of that we can’t control.

IV. We live in a self-constructed cube,
V. We constantly strive to dissolve it,
VI. It is therein which self-destruction lies

VII. Walls we construct around us,
VIII. Deterrent to expansion of souls entwined
IX. Mutilate creativity and push to the ground

X. Death of our expansive creation spawns
XI. The precipitate of our existence
XII. Of living w/the structures we’ve created

XIII. Voices from the gray cloud awake
XIV. The dawn brings only sacrifice in the superficial sphere

XV. Dragging their bodies to render destruction
XVI. They add to the collapse of meaning within our own function

XVII. Ridicule the perceived nature
XVIII. Daunting progression, in escaping reality,
XIX. Dragged thought through piles of desecration

XX. In our selfish lives we’re taught depression
XXI. Fueled by ignorant disposition

XXII. Wrath forms a subconscious cloud
XXIII. Wreathing throughout the city to invade a sacred land
XXIV. Withered flowers of the old have crumbled and blown away.

XXV. The destruction of innocence…

XXVI. Thus, mushrooms fill the land,
XXVII. Their poison spreads throughout

XXVIII. The blackness rests like a blanket over the complicated city.
XXIX. Hints of enlightenment sparkle in the distance.

XXX. Through the beating of the rain and viciousness of the wind
XXXI. I find my comfort, delve in:
XXXII. To its warmth.

XXXIII. But inside we are hidden from the violent elements.
XXXIV. Willingly Confined to our haven: Isolation.
