Conversation with my Conscience

   
Tell me your thoughts    
on the world today…    
Why each minute in civilization    
forces you further astray?    
   
“Speak of glass houses-    
that no longer exist?    
How men cast stones-    
led by iron fist?”    
   
It can’t be so bad, friend-    
(just push and shove)    
What about this freedom-    
we brag so freely of?    
   
“A money populated society-    
deems no one free…    
Corruption runs it’s course,    
not sensitivity…”    
   
Retention of progress-    
belated concert?    
Higher communication-    
exactly what can this hurt?    
   
“Blatant bitterness,    
(you must think of me)    
Retention brings hatred,    
drown about by degree…    
   
Where’s the retention-    
of song and innocence?    
The love of simplicity-    
not the building of fence…”    
   
Suppress the foundation-    
terror in defiance,    
Won’t there always remain-    
cacophony in silence?   
   
“Be that as it may    
I shall not overstay”    
   
“This world becomes less-    
than my ideal design,    
I believe it’s just safer-    
to reside in my mind…”
