About the World

The world is an invention created by mankind

Twisted, transfigured,

diminished, confined

to the bestial haven that exists in our minds

To us, it is everything, but beyond us, it’s blank

Bound like a ring and limited as a tank

Blind we are to the realm beyond our brains,

the sky is brimming,

and we submit to our chains.
