Spirit vs. Soul
People think they are
Just one in the same
For them, truth is a blur
Thinking a word is the name
But I know better than them
I can see what they can not
The spirit is a person's gem
And soul the big blot
Souls are thrown around
From death to another life
It cannot make a sound
While being stabbed with its knife
Tortured with each change
Holes are bored through
It’s whole purpose is strange
As it hasn’t a clue
It wonders why
What did it do to deserve this fate
It wants to cry
As it absorbs all the hate
Emotions rolled in it
Filled from centuries of work
It wants to split
For the emotions isn’t a perk
Spirits, however, are free
They’re never reused
They are the person’s personality
And it’s always amused
After someone is done
The spirit must ascend
For a spirit belongs to one
And it and that one blend
Spirits move on
They have no chain
Free as a swan
And graceful as a crane
It is this freedom
That the souls desire
It is the very reason
They conspire
Souls made us believe
That they and the spirit are the same
Thought the spirits seethe
Souls played and won their game
But for me
I must know where they start
For you see
I am the one who tears them apart
