Saving Consciousness



One's determination to save,
And protect their kept consciousness...
These turned upside down days.
Will take more than just luck to wish it.
Since so much thrown to duck,
In the hope to miss it all?
Seems too sacrificial.

Although,
Better it would be...
Is to pretend to have lost one's mind.
Needing no disguise to notice...
One more cracked up joining the circus.
And...
Play along with the quacks.
Followed by those already whacked out.

To then await and pray for tolerance.
Until the numbskulls finally break away...
From thick shells to witness,
Them being reborn from mentalities...
Sickened!
With innocent eyes and smiles appearing,
To gaze lovingly upon you to hear...

'Are you my Mommy or Daddy or both?'

And...
Without committing to respond.
Just leave and move on to know,
How blessed you have been to witness...
God working,
In the most mysterious of ways!
