if all you needed was a delusion to roust you

then you've truly overshot your intention


life will always be what it's been

and the struggle of our souls remains as ever


to escape the material world even as it holds

your heel as you try to ascend


to enter what we call heaven

and hope it is not a hell to us who think too much


and live too little...
