shadows, shadows
the battlefield of the angels and crows
where light meets darkness
and darkness meets light
where we wage upon ourselves the eternal fight
in the darkness which only comes by light
we're given the gift of internal sight
to see ourselves as we truly are
albiet just a shadow
but a confoundness between whats wrong and right
to truly understand one's self, we look inside
and discover the true insight
when we go past our own defences
and apply all our own trespasses
we discover ourself for what we really are
nothing but shadows
of our internal heart
living for money and physical possesions
living on nothing but pety obsessions
look at what we've become
mere puppets
for corporations to strung
they play with us and toy with us
and we don't see it
because we're too busy
to question, we just believe it
shadows shadows
is what we are now
no longer humans, we've evolved somehow
it's true i tell you it's true to show
how many of you can truly say money is just paper
and i can let it go.

my inspiration has drained like perspiration ..again i'm empty like hemp i been smoked dry...*sigh*

Can't let go of that paper, can you?Like the final piece especially. Think that on one line strung ought to be string..as in "for corporations to string". Keep up the good work

WOW!!! This is such a wonderfully thought-provoking piece, sweet friend, I too believe we live in the shadows of capitalism and I wish we could stray away from money and appreciate what's much more important in life! (sigh) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is powerful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Luke, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
