The Human Soul

Everything’s going up in smoke tonight
Temperature is rising from the fire below
Speaking in curses to mask such delight
While momentum has started to plateau

Positive thinking can only lead one so far
Losing ground to a pack of assorted lies
On the face of fear it’s grown quite bizarre
Tired of living this life built on compromise

Everybody’s wired on opinions from fools
Mass confusion intended to keep control
Propaganda is used by all corporate tools
As a means to prosper off the human soul

Author's Note
Late night musing. Words are magic in this world, they can be used for good or for evil. Us poets/poetesses know that better than most. Appreciate you.

" I felt so good, like anything was possible
Hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last three days the rain was unstoppable
It was always cold, no sunshine."
