Almost an attempt at philosophy

Bodger


We build around us the protection over years that without knowing leads others to perceive

Our shell

Like a crab for a home we walk talk fight and protect

That inner sense with shades of sharades
Notes of mobile

Consequences of ignoble

For

To break that renders us available to the world
Feeling intensified protection gone

As removing barriers to sound, image and emotion
We lean to bigger speakers

Consequences of ‘a feeling that is open to everything, but closed to none’

Over years we rebuilt, put hypocrisies back in place
Work out old hates
Remember to protect

But yet

We still remember

That chance that we distain
