Initiated under shackles of destruction,

under lying lips and systemic corruption,

and a psychosis of the heart, mind and soul.

You were asleep with eyes open when given goals.

Believing them to be your own,

you strove. Dedication was shown 

for a determined destination, a place where

once found, a part of the mirage became clear.

But by some strange amnesia to what was obvious, 

your mind reeled at the dubious, becoming delirious 

as it recalibrated to save you from pain and anguish.

Truth entered, but you chose delusion and a wish

to remain in the lie. Deceiving yourself about the choice,

you danced a tango with death, ignoring Truth’s Voice

and call for deliverance. The Keys to the Door

leading out of the maze were believed to be lore 

as the heavens within awaited your desperate plea

to flee from falsehood (the iron bars that be

the thought strongholds of the mind). Truth flows 

above the cyclical sea, calling still, while lies billow 

from vortices below. “You simple one,” Wisdom cries out,

“How long will you love simplicity?” Her shout

is heard by a few who awaken from self-deception

and come to know the Word of Truth. Their reception

of His Keys to the kingdom allow them unlimited access

to transcendence, to peace, to the Higher Mind, and a rest 

from their wayward thoughts and fears. Then, upon entering

within, they are welcomed and enveloped in love everlasting.
