Who are these forces
That constantly
Shield you from perception
How can it be
That they prevent you
From cognition so far
What is this vigour
That silently
Holds you in confinement
How does it isolate
Your Brains like
Inside a Mason jar
Borders and boundaries
Barriers and walls
Restricting the view
Just as long as you
Can't find yourself
A hole to look through
Are you the victim
And if so, who are the perpetrators
If not yourself
Who then will jugde them
To satisfy the law
Is it good thinking
Or do you suffer
Mental derangement
How can one
Separate enlightenment
From just burning straw
Borders and boundaries
Barriers and walls
Restricting the view
Just as long as you
Can't find yourself
A hole to look through
Dullness and ignorance
Prejudice and pride
Constraining the mind
Just as long as you
Lack sustenance
Of the spiritual kind
