The Allegory of the Den, Plato
An old friend who said
Enlighten, Inspire, and See
The light at the end of this cavernous hole

I see so many lights
From within so many holes
I’m beginning to think that
Limbo, is the destiny of Souls

I climb out, and I fall down
I get a taste of sun, before I plummet to the ground
Liberty seems like a reason to
Protest this uncertain existence

But Liberty is a product of
The Man himself who wrote
On a scroll from within a den
And Cursed us all
Repent, Repent

Coiled gleaming, foiled scales
Cross the scathing desert sands
A gaping no mans land
An S shaped slither, Slides
The night quivers as it glides

How the spine does mesmerize
To prey that see those eyes
The fate of a torturous demise,
Dragged around and swaddled
Up up down and swallowed

Evil sounds it makes a hisss
a kisss of death upon ussss
Keeps usss honessst lisssten
Dart to see that armor glissten
Behind yellow eyes to scales so twisssted

Driving through a place
One I've never known-
To tell me yes or no
I just don't choose to listen

I don't care anymore
Caring is for people who
Have something left inside
I'm done, I'm going to

Shoot on through these streets
Watch the trees turn into fragments
Of light green and brownish swirls
I'm not turning around

There is no back, just forth
I go to these dementions -which
Some may dream about
But sleep, there is none here

The wild world it spins about
Without wheels to train a route
And yes, I love it so I go
But never ask to where I'm going

I'm just going to Gun it
Then I'll find out where it stops

Trailing my past mistakes
Wondering if a heart still breaks
Digging up the wrong-found
Rip it From the ground

Uprooted, exposed and bare
Is there a soul left to care?
Underneath the sheith
I don't want to breathe

I won't, I won't, inhale
I'll play this world to scale
Let it toss my breath
Into an untimely death

Who wants to feel unwanted
Who wants to feel forgotten
Who wants to feel
Jump-This world's a wheel

Do you want to hear "recover"?
Some don't.

I left a world
To go away - away
From everything - even you
With the open arms and big eyes
Yes, you - I left you too

Freedom brings brilliance
It brings fear I never knew
I had - I had it all along
I took it - I took it all

Hard to be alone, when
Alone is small, smaller
Than I've ever known
Away - I go away

Does it even matter?
Pastimes, worse times
You were - wrong
I am okay, clean

Washed of all them
Demons that thought
They knew. They spoke
Like bibles in a telephone game

I changed, undoubtedly
But so did you.
Warnings never hit
From this part of space

Now I feel it.
The blade of your dishonor
Shoved in my spine
In this world, this place

Is no different

I sit upon a stupid stool
And watch the hours flock by
I wonder if, now, I was you
Is this the tick to talk by

Would you be running wild and free
With lovers in your pocket
Now here I am alone with me
A thought, the thought ill chalk it

I see you on the recent post
In Bali- now LA
I'm wondering how can I seem
Enough to look okay

You dance about the wild screen
It seems it took one take
But maybe here In my melancholy
I failed to see what's fake.

I do not know this verse,
Because the moment, now past
Was a memory- I'm not sure of
Am I a narrator or a story?
Is it true, or am I a false witness?
I was, what I am not now
I will be, what I do not know
Amphibious in nature, but tell me
Do you - do you see me as one?
Or do you see me as one of
One of something that was..

I suppose this is just babbled thought
Of how perception is born
We cannot perceive ourselves
Now, there's the thought.
I cannot perceive myself
Therefore I am not.
