Strapped down

Unable to move

Away to the lands that are

New


See what you will

Understand what you can

But you will never be allowed to venture or stand


We are united in our ignorance

In the way we cant fathom

Any difference

We don’t want to understand

Instead exult in stupidity

It overwhelms us

And now we pity


Those that are able

To see what we cant

To take out their eyes

from the worlds slant


With its indifference to ugly

And its love of false beauty


Things that won’t last

And words that have passed


Their ability to Express

what is true

And their ingenious quality

of letting little else through.
