take a moment to think about the outside world

every individual is chasing a long expired fantasy

struggling in their own way until the definition of success entirely shifts

as a culture we all know what happens when people lose faith

so we created structure and lies to reinforce the fairytale 

a million different chances to find our way and fit into what they see as acceptable 

with so many options, he or she who ventures off the grid and out of reality becomes unacceptable 

leaving a minuscule population for the agents of fascism to suppress and vilify

speaking ones mind becomes something that can only be done with caution 

explanations become hopeless against decades of meticulously programmed hatred 

free thought becomes unnecessary as ones plan for life lays itself out in its entirety before him with every last detail above his pitiful signature 

we all know what we must do and since the majority are content, nothing will change 

the time for exploration is over, we now reject creation and find purpose in a manufactured dream 

created with forty years heart and soul dedicated to destroying creativity with love

and what of love? 

gone is the magic and truth that forms between two lost souls

born with a map tattooed on our chest, no soul is lost 

this led to the creation of artificial love and the demise of it’s intricate mystery 

we pretend to be explorers within each other’s stories without straying from our own 

god forbid the world deems us unacceptable

unspeakable 

lost to years of systematic execution of free will

the world has changed, my friend

with our secret counter cultural desires in our back pocket we can play their game 

waiting in the sun to awaken

take advantage of our sacred time and make it our own 

we need not another’s dream 

for every life has its own purpose 

and beyond a dream lies the truth

search for it with me
