Simplicity

In the minds eye
The world clouds over
As life turns troublesome
So does reality dip
Into the plane of change
Gripped by impotent passion
Pained by lack of control
Grieved by lost desire
But sorting for measure
To take grip of
That which is most desirable
Control

Control beyond my reach
Destined to be a goal for eternity
Unreachable by any method
Perception is a mirage
Illogically defined as reachable
Blocked by the essence that is
The root of all life
The basis for understanding
As simple as the wet blob of tissue
Between your ears
Neurons fire and miss
Like an engine pushing for power
Defining intellect.

Intellect and control flux
With the ebbing mind
Passing into control
Intellect flexes its muscle
To make the perception of control
Allowing others to perceive
What you set for them
Those that do grope for the security
The control that exudes power
Power which changes destiny
Tied to what mind?
Exploitable as Control
As its given only by those
Less apt to generate
The perception within themselves.

Paradox’s abound
Welcome to reality
It is what it is
It is what you make it to be
Who’s choice is it?
If not yours, then nobodies
As no-one else is responsible for you
Mental impasse is yours to destroy
If you don’t, it defines you
If you do, you define yourself
Either way your mind is your power.

Grasp it,
Embrace it,
Direct it,
And feel the power of control by exerting your intellect.

Simplicity.
