"Savage & Saint"

By Grim_Sorrow

right & wrong
savage and saint
figment and fact
false barriers
an attempt
in essence
to assure ones dominance
seperate oneself from our primal right
to be ungoverned
free of influence
unobscured
yet odly
we help to build this wall
and for every brick taken asunder
two more assume its place
society is failing
freedom is falling
our primitive ways
though natural
have become an abomination
unacceptable in this pericarp of life
this phantasm of hope
forced evolution
not of body as was intended
but of will
understanding
self purpose

an affirmation of ones diluted sense of superiority

    No doubt, I thought of that and then by reading your comment it really reinforces the fact.
