And the visions
that once inspired
his mind
all died
in the killing fields
of his eyes.
Watch over your children
don't overexpose them
their innocence is very fragile.

What good am I
if my mind sees through
the eyes of thieves and knaves
and my words
are fashioned from malice
so as to say
I lie with vagabonds and sleep
with flea dogs
these are my brothers
tell me do
What good am I

It is not possible to be free of the mind.
The mind can be a tool for self-liberation.
Did you wait smiling for this?
If there's a tune to silence.
There is a melody to speech.
I stroked her headstone gently
  whispered to the dead show me
  asking for a preview of death
  when I finally take my last breath
  will I haunt my lovers tears of rain
  or will I chase away Cancer's pain
  from Halloween Queen named Kellee?
  Are we blinded by light or can we see?
  Do we suffer forever or are we set free?
  Will our shadow creator ever let us be?
