measures taken to keep the peace
within the mind
the head is nothing but  a shell
filtering through memories
but mainly experience
its what were here for
to take that experience with us
to join with something bigger
god
maybe
but more likely a cloud of awareness
that encompasses everything
our soul is an awareness
and the world keeps us preoccupied
with great things
but now
we keep ourselves preoccupied
with other people
with wretches
with stars
the potential comes from the earth
and our potential is seized
by focusing on these false idols
these other people
