Analysis of Suppress and Manifest

Jeffrey Powell 1979 (Pittsburgh, PA)



When that day sets that has kept you from rest
it seems incessantly
hard to maintain
The train of your brain when there's no waylayin'
nay, it makes you pay
in relation - which is to say,
"You can't always portray a way that your mind will obey"
however it may be,
the source is listening
And insisting you enlist persistence in your interests
so let it be your intention to
restrain those draining days
By twisting the display– to express your best progress

He tends to play by his own rules and darts in and out of the civilized world, as avoiding the conventional gathering is more his style.
