Careful Understanding

I tinker in this box

Held at bay

Danger emanates from this cell

Although walls not so thick

I will hibernate until I can break away



Not one passage

Nor one costly thought can penetrate

Anger smears

Crying carries

As I lie there waiting

We must scratch and tear

We must manipulate



Oh these leering images

Mustn’t come to play

Stretch my mind

Open the doors

Peer into this blinding soul

Winding down…. it’s time to pay



Wonders fell onto sweet innocent eyes

Corrupt magic slips off the tongue

Masses of fleeing white flocks

Spur off into the air

Knowledge is bewildering

The mind deceiving

The end comes

With a kiss

A sprinkle of dust

As we watched the stars fall

Below the monster snuck into our heads



And took care of us all.
