Fraction: 1/0

The not me is blind

He can’t see past the illiteracy swamp

The not me is deaf

He can’t ear harmony in humankind

The not me is dumb

He oppresses and repress

The not me has no smell

He bargain and sell and swell

The not me has his hands clasped and tied

He’s guide to be a guileless tool

The not me are gray

They’re simply fuel

Dead corpses to play

 

Deny thyself

Untangle your eyes

Cease to be a machine

And become the self

I mean, let go of

Prejudice and conventions

And dogmas of society

Let yourself be carried by the self

Let go of thy dimension

Stable and confortable

Those made up dreams

Provide sense to existence

 

The self lives

Sees past unreal reality

Ears past instilled dreams

Lastly tastes the liberality

Lastly irradiates beams out

Of instilled tune

Lastly he flies from the cocoon
