Conceptual Living

 

The cranial blender  
of a few well placed
electrical discharges
in our underutilized brains
is where inspiration
dances unrestrained
with conceptual abstraction

Creations of virgin purity
immaculately unstained
by the dream busting doubt bombs
to be launched by external scrutiny

This suppressed blueprint
is the spiral staircase path 
to natural advancement

If only we could reside
in this secure womb
of abstract excellence

Trust is the power of genius possibility

Instead we gotta endure
these stained implementations
that perpetually leave us wanting

Forever seeking
the next future
untarnished surge of creativity

Spoonful of Artificial Sweetener

 

We do things we should not do
but we do them anyway
under the guise
of it needed to be done

It's these little self deceptions
cloaked in cliched rationalizations
that make our human indiscretions
go down a little easier

This self serving brew

allows us the smoke screen

to delude ourselves

that we are decent people
