*Beneath the facades of meticulous composure Rehearsed   mannerisms that are etiquette conformist And Mechanized body language are underbellies Immune to society’s manipulation Storms rage continuously and incessantly To one’s chagrin and no recourse to assuage The emotionally grim state of affairs In sight on the expanse horizon of chance Feeling and emotion Have a mind of their own Which society with its immense “Instruments of power” Can’t effectively control But still the bird’s wings are Clipped Whether by chance or design Is an issue reserved for the deities That’s if they do exist.*

Feeling and emotion.
*Beneath the facades of meticulous composure Rehearsed   mannerisms that are etiquette conformist And Mechanized body language are underbellies Immune to society’s manipulation Storms rage continuously and incessantly To one’s chagrin and no recourse to assuage The emotionally grim state of affairs In sight on the expanse horizon of chance Feeling and emotion Have a mind of their own Which society with its immense “Instruments of power” Can’t effectively control But still the bird’s wings are Clipped Whether by chance or design Is an issue reserved for the deities That’s if they do exist.*
*I just wish I lived in a time when circumstance allowed my outpouring of raw emotion without being branded unethical...or in contravention of etiquette*
