Prison is not entirely confinement
it can be physically restrictive...
but you only bring the society of a convicted mind
to engage themselves with more intimacy.
Our situations in life are no more as restrictive
because humanity glares at us with unrelenting reserves.
So like prisoners, we are in constant conversations
with amplitudes of ourselves and our minds.
We refine and shed like snakes the old skin.
I reinvent myself on a constant struggle within
We have become like scholars,
sentenced to reflect on life.
Because the time served is a lifetime.
We are eager to impress our judge,
Doesn't matter who we make the judge...
For our past become crystal clear as time winds,
Like convicts growing more aware of the crimes committed,
than a justice system governing our land.
And when it comes to psychological evaluations
Our moral fibers would serve as interesting fodder
to morality issues in our country.
Our history presents some things as repetitive.
An' the modern man still grapples with them.
We are the patterns of our thought,
When we have our most undivided attention to genius
Realizing the challenge,
We result to propose dimensions
That compose and define a mind of genius.
We do our greatest harm,
for a mind is free an' full of love for things
and because no meager mind has a matching charm!
Yet, There are those who are free even behind bars,
For truly,
There is no prison of mind.
Only what is in our mind, and that we are.

Live yours right!
A person puts up a spirited search,
for the certainties of tomorrow,
to grasp predictability upon the events,
of the natural world and the artificial ones.
Then there are those certain aspects of morality,
That we are in continuous pursuit of perfection,
To get better, to want better, to have better.
Yet there is a certainty of death,
and life puts on a grave importance,
for those in suffering and the ones in bliss.
We become authentic with our activities.
Every endeavor becomes personal or has our personal touch
To free the oppressed, to feed the hungry, to heal the sick...
becomes the domain of the privileged.
Health in society is to care for all,
Law in a land is to govern all, if not our morals...
Food to feed thee strength of a working nation
and that of those who are struggling.
The empty walk in tatters, shred to pieces within
Love for them has faded, and are monstrous in the eye.
Then the qualitative and the quantitative measures of life
tells us apart, of who's worthy and who's not.
and that is introduced as our norm,
We accept it with much trepidation,
discriminating amongst friends and making foes.
The order sips into disorder, convincing us we are still right.
However far from human we have come,
Our outbursts and menacing nature makes us alien.
Those that do receive true salvation,
are too timid to speak up.
The times are rife for a repeat of history,
where good men are sacrificed.
The true revelations is that we are life,
a beginning to it and inevitably an end.
A darkness and light,
So I live mine right,
while another lives theirs as they see fit!

Done
It is no wonder to me, that the truth has been so elusive to many.
Mostly because the truth is right in front of our eyes. It is so simple and yet powerful, it is thought to be kept hidden. To realize this truth gives both strength on one side and cripples on the other.
How else do we live in a world of serious contradictions, that bringing conflict between one another, and within ourselves. It is better to do whatever in our means to survive and undo any obstacle in our without much remorse. We are tearing the bonds between us, creating new ones on condition of this or that.
How does the world fail so much, that my home is plagued by curable diseases. That while I have meal in my home, another suffers under the tyranny of poverty. The gap is growing wider, estranging neighbor with neighbor. How many days must we wake to see one another like human beings. What is this promise of a Kingdom of Heaven? If heaven is not among us who live.
The dead hold the world's wisdom, only they can tell for sure if there are parallels of this world. So what has to be, is life in full. Let those who do wrong pay, here on earth, let who yearn, let be into their aspirations. Every war has it's hero, so will every side. So whose war are we fighting, whose pain, whose peace are we calling for? Mine and yours.
We have learnt through history, our strength is in great measure. Withing ancient wording, and coding. We are what has to be done. The peace, the prosperity of all.
