(Written Saturday, December 5, 2009. Sometimes I feel there's a veil that hides the truth permeating society, and all of its rules and traditions discourage us from seeing through it.)
Life in mind
traveling with no traffic signs
no watch tells time
for a while don't mind
be sweet, be kind
hold the door for the one behind
and in time you'll find
enough
obey these rules
pay no attention to thieves and fools
study hard, finish school
laugh in the face of cruel
if ever it comes from behind
and sets ink to our lines
if ever we look inside
though bruised and shattered, shine
if ever wisdom meets common sense
and clears up such subtle pretense
then maybe living we won't mind
maybe we'll find life in mind
