Freedom

Somewhere in the midst of madness lays the truth
Tangled up with matter
Incomprehensible
Perhaps nonexistent.

Through the first seconds of time
The unexpected evil arises with magical spells,
Binding us in unholy land,
Suspended in traveling time
Light is thrown upon our eyes,
Perception changes itself
To cast yet a new dilemma.

Transformation craves to be believed,
It growls and yearns to be wanted
To occupy us
Vulnerable
Powerful
Helpless creatures.

Thunder rolls inside us,
Darkening the shadows in our believing souls,
Nourishing them with feverish bolts.

We helplessly wait and wait
Crawl around deepen our wounds
Our hunger keeps filling our sorrow
Like a drug,
While innocent crystallized tears are
Imposed in a lifeless life…
And we wait
Expect to be taken
Who knows where?
With our wrongly classified sins
Unaware of true existence
To be freed forever.
