control
By Everett A Warren
February 10, 1997

you collide
so effortlessly
with your heart and mind
denial of reality
for you yourself are false
how can your senses
speak of truth?

worlds hiding
behind worlds
within worlds, within dreams
residing in recesses deep inside
worlds masked by words
insisted upon
yet not felt
yet they are so
so you say
and it is so

and we seek
power
yet we can reorder
the universe at will
and we seek
wealth
yet affluence
slips through fingers
whilst eyes win yet another prize
and we seek our
dreams
yet we teach the youth not to
dream

to find a reality
that lies within the bounds of what has been
controlling it
limited to the past
which is not the present
for if it was
there would be no
future
