Analysis of Words Come Out But The Essence Stays Within
The precious brain keeps arranging thought
in clusters making sense of outside things
and while with words a hold is always sought
the overload is leaving mouths on wings.
But deep inside the traces still remain
of what the eyes and ears with shock received.
Messed up seems order as the sticky stain
is often conscientiously perceived.
Burdensome when seeking clearer views
the wiping off may be the main process
because each day the smudge itself renews
and in the mind all sparks of light get less.
Pity those who take the evil in
due to fictional elicited sin.
