Boom sha lak lak,
Boom sha lak lak,
Boom sha lak lak boom,
Boom sha lak lak boom.


Cast off the shackles of mental slavery away from your minds
This world revolves around star times moon times sky,
Unparallel to any mental being,
Yet children continue to play their games-

Existence within the parameter of mind
life
knowledge

Hanging in the balance between

Decay and Death
Lifeand Misfourtune
Hereand There
Ink and Blood

Laugh like the silent screems of solictors snickering-
Broken insights captured by photographs,
Incomplete thoughts portrayed by puns,
Life fallen short of its undue misery,

Ink my body Tell my soul
Know thy heart through thy blood.

Boom sha lak lak,
Boom sha lak lak,
Boom sha lak lak boom,
Boom sha lak lak boom.

Love lorn
Love loss
Life leaves
Let lie
Loneliness low.

Dead like the bouquet of roses hanging above your bed,
Symbolize a loss of what was once there-
Rip those shackles from your life!

Death becomes us-
Birth deceives us-
Hurt breeds fear-
In my coffin of black,
Release the from the mental powers that be.

Boom sha lak lak,
Boom sha lak lak,
Boom sha lak lak boom,
Boom sha lak lak boom.

Mental insights in a world where
Knowledge is fading
Ignorance
Is bliss.
Real
Eyes
That
This
Is
All
A
Co
Inside
Ence.

Matt:

ahhh I love this:

Death becomes us-
Birth deceives us-

and this reminded me of Rage Against the Machine . . . the passion involved
with ideals . . .
well written . . . too many lines

and may the sword from the light, guide the strike. As to know the difference. Outstanding eor, and with beautiful emotion.

Very nicely written, I will have to read this a few more time to get the gyst of what you are trying to say, as it is a fairly complex piece.  I love it though, thanks for the write.

| Like your new constructive critism quote...  IS it new, or am I just hallucinating again?  

This piece, seems so...  rejuvenating.     Inspired by some inkwork?  Inquisitive, almost, as well.  Seems very well thought out and drew me in with the rythym of this piece.  Much enjoyed, as always, Matt.
