Kept As Traps To Distract Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

When one grows up in the land of demons,
And knowing them for who they are...
It is always a struggle from the start,
To break free from their deceptions.
Since they will try to convince others they know you...
To keep subservience in the way.
And their ideals kept as traps to distract,
From their true identity.
But those who see clear through this...
Are not addicted to any of it!
And keep their missions to seek truth...
Real!

'Why do you keep re-enforcing this vision? '

To keep myself from falling to sleep.
And lulled back into an acceptable darkness.

'But we all have come from darkness.'

I'm speaking of the mind!
Not of body.
