I never have finished a book in my life
But I've written quite a few
And my insights of the world, and my way with words
and my analytical thinking...
must have been corrupted
With the words I did not read.
I did not have to see stories
Carefully portrayed in hours before my eyes
Detailed, polished, and inspirational
To learn how to have an imagination.
From years of schooling I have developed
A sense of dismemberment from society
Corrupted we all are, prisoners to conformity.
Exemption would be eden
A promised land, a nirvana absent of company
a paradise to posess
These ideas
These desires
Are all in minds reach.
