The Lawless Mind MAG
When golden caskets horrors hold,
And lead are filled with treasure,
Is all that’s true that we are told
So far away from pleasure?
Harpies, Devils, Angels come
To twist and change our fate,
But how can we never succumb
To what we can’t relate?
Ever-changing artist of all forms you can devise,
Superstitions, all traditions, lie behind our eyes.
All things are one-sided farces,
All things are delusions.
Present and Historic subjects
All contain illusions.
Professionals can’t hope to find
Our comprehension flawless,
For of the aspects of mankind,
The mind’s the only lawless

Yes! You know how to dig deep and find a new way of seeing the never-ending boundaries of our minds. No one can truly know unless their opinion is shifted my dear, and my opinion is definitely shifted.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhh, amazing. A joy to read, the mind quickly accepts the hand-extended invitation to burrow, pin-pricking and concentrated.

This is great, very smooth, and it goes along greatly with a great meter. But I didn't understand the line, "But how can we never succumb to what we can't relate?" I think it would've made a little better sense if it said 'can relate' because if it did it would mean that it is easy to succumb to pressures and such when we can relate or want to relate to someone or the devil and angels :) But it was overall good
