In the vast reaches of inner space
Where the mind travels under its own rules
No scientific formula can explain this region
The forces are not under Newton’s gravity

Levitating on meditative reasoning
The endless power to influence
Another dimension of another time
Within visions of clairvoyant magnetism

In the light of pure darkness
Where the fear of the unknown
Echoes in a chilling reality
Intermingling with unbridled spirits

A void where physical wealth carries no value
The gems are conjured up in mystic forces
Creating inspiring projections of infinite forms
In an imagination that uses its full potential

Here your body serves no purpose
Having no form to conform to
By here no physical limitations will chain you
For your mind is not under society’s control

Here you feel nothing
And everything at the same time
The pain is most exhilarating
Pleasure to be left go

Here politicians are used as dart boards
Where hitting them releases frustrations
And you hear more black and blue remarks
On how wonderful things are with them
While they sound like they are talking
Like it is coming from their posterior

Perfectionists are caught with their pants down
In an inner world that can see how small they are
For here nothing covers the bare facts

Lawyer cannot defend themselves
For they do not have the ground to stand on
To aid in their defense
Of cruel and unusual punishment

The IRS is still claiming me
Will I have no standard deduction form
For they are trying to tax nothing
As something worth while
Assessing an infinite value
On your own inner real estate

So you see here you can have an existence
Poking fun at rules of conformity
Releasing the throbbing of years of burdens
You do not need to be mental patient here
For they are over the hill

Thought: Your body is a vessel in which your mind is put into, to ride the storm of living a rough life.
