Castles of the Mind

We build castles of the mind.
Though sometimes we are blind.
Glittering towers.
Held together with mental powers.

Bastions of our Imagination.
Our own nation.
A mind defence.
A walled fence.

A shield of madness.
Ready for the sword of sadness.
Inward looking.
A slippery footing.

Peopled with avatars of ourselves.
Alter ego’s themselves.
All ready to defend with their sudo lives.
From the assaults of our daily lives.

And still we stay.
Never to sway.
Always we defend.
To the bitter end.
