Mental Warfare

Texte: Mental fight means thinking against the current, not with it. It is our business to puncture gas bags and discover the seeds of truth – Virginia Woolf

Two great forces armed with destruction 

battle within subconscious thought

intimate and intense implosions

of sensory perception

an awareness as nothing remains 

as it first appears on that distant horizon

but mortality rests with the enemy

lagging behind in the past that refuses 

to relinquish its prisoners 

captured in the normality of days gone by

yet truth can only speak

when all else has let go.
