A Moment

Humanity will never understand

the complexity behind a single

moment.

In every inhalation the world continues to revolve

regardless of the matter,

the matter in which we 

try to wrap our 

minds around

something so eternally greater

than us

in hopes.

In hopes 

of what?

Of a purpose

of justification

of redemption

of salvation?

Each unfathomable second

carries millions of different outcomes, 

each of which define us.

But what is definition?

Is it validation and security?

Is it limitation and restriction?

Is it slavery or is it liberation? 

These chains are binding,

yes,

but we are already bound

to this Earth

to our minds

to our definitions?

Liberation is nothing

but a feeling of confusion

and a loss

of any direction

human nature

had attempted to 

provide us with.

Liberation is a contradiction. 

It may free your soul,

but it will never truly 

free your own mind. 

A mind.

The most incredible thing in the universe,

yet every man possesses it.

You see, possession nourishes our mind.

We find safekeeping in having

control over ourselves

and others

and the facetious illusion we can control

our pasts and our future.

God bless us all.
