The Panopticon
life and death,
up and down,
this 360 degree prison,
man, at the center of it all
drives himself mad,
his own warden,
his own prisoner,
holding the key to his escape
but chooses to lock himself
in, and throw it away;
his days are his nights,
his nights are his days,
He wants to rule but rules
rule him
The imagination: limited
to others who imagine
expectations, this recognition
of normality,
creates domination.
recognition confirms reality,
another wants attention,
to be known and known to be to be known.
it creates a feedback loop,
a circle of consciousness,
clouds which merge into others,
circles, which forms chains,
thus chains form us and we
are shackled by others and ourselves.
To be free we must not be ourselves,
because being ourselves is being others,
we must completely disintegrate identity,
to unlock the mystery, the riddle, the door,
out of this panopticon, which is all we know
