Prison of Souls

A Poem

By Atomic HistorianPublished 4 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

In the prison of souls

There is no control

It makes you a fool

For answering the call

Of its uplifting fall

For all that are compelled by its draw

Locked in my head

I wish I had fled

Yet, I stay in their stead

The profanity of your sanity

Sanitized existence prefaced by pestilence

You’ve been selected

To exit freedom

A dollar fiend

I try to wean

Yet never clean

Of the unseen need

For which we bleed

Separated from our seed

Tying our rope

With the hope

That we will see

When we are set free
