" We carry guitar cases full of phobias hoping to turn fear into our strongest instrument.- Rudy Francisco


When God created humans, he only meant for us to have one manner of sensation.
Through our evolution of divide and conquer mentality, we've broken those senses into five different parts.
We were never supposed to break them for our personal reasonings.
Our own twisted ways of perceiving danger, happiness, or even indifference became depended on humanly understanding.
We've categorized our own parts as unnessacery, but put others on a pedestal. 
Claimed that our eyes were less suitable than our ears for observing things made of perception.
We've  neglected the fact that feeling may not rely on a sense, but a mindset,
resulting in a war under invisible boundaries.
Left to find our noses fractured into a billion little pieces and taste buds ridding themselves of the kill.
Hearts and hands in combat over who can feel the best.
Then we wonder why we're so broken.
