Body Electric 2.0

by angrychairs

I sing the body electric. I'm dazzled by the promise of a greater tomorrow. I'm dizzied by the awareness of my own consciousness. My body is merely a container for the soul that begs to be removed from its restrictions, for it is imprisoned within fragile bones and tender flesh. It sings the body electric. A melody that resembles a plea before slowly releasing a sigh in defeat against its enclosure. It yearns from something better than what is offered in such a short span of time. Life is short, they claim but life is indeed long. Long and harsh, the road ahead. We travel forward singing the body electric.
