/note, hi people.

It's a deeply postmodern piece with a little irony in there, i'm curious to see whether people can glean the main meaning.

All critical comments welcome.

Sonnet of Self

The paths embossed on such fragile minds
Invisible rivers of unlearned knowledge
Innocence, the mass potential storage
Unchallenged truths and lies, gift free-will pre-defined

Clawing deep for ghosts and possessed to find
Innocent demons whose past we do stage
The things that scarred the empty page
The unquestioned vision of static futures, blind

Purge thy thoughts with taken will
Fires of self burn true
Thy soul, thy heart yet weakened still
Clean deeper yet you do
New flames have melted ancient chill
You are no longer 'you'

Bzzzz - oh goodie, I rang in first. If I answer correctly, I get the BIg Prize.

Sounds like some post adolescent awakening to the fact that the karma driven space/time he/she found him/herself in is not inevitable but thru sincere endeavor better karma may be generated. Kind of another manifestation of the Angry-Young-Man genre of literature

Hmm ehh nice guess...but no cigar!

It's not an 'angry young man' work at all, heh.

Thanks for the comments
