(Hindrance in Life)

Off Shock It

We seem to have seen

then no other way around

it, the obstacle that is

always blocking the path

we don’t see in our

hypnotized state of

unfreedom

When one day we finally

awaken to reality and see

the big bad monster

right in front of us

trying to push us down

against our will

we shake it off

easier when knowing it

well enough, then fear

evaporates like alcohol in hot

sunlight through lost horizon

begging hours seemingly spent

in the state of dazed unknowing

call it the sleep we escaped

too when daytime has

worn us down enough, still

we think it is normal

to sleep, to be, to breathe

this human stage is quite

strange in its organicness.
