Baggage

Learned behavior, imbedded in open,
vulnerable childhood, weighs burdensome,
as a crusted hood of adult burden
that distort view of life’s fabulous prism.

Blinkered, rote, societal manacles,
imposed on small adults by big babies,
tether mind in labyrinthine morals
that pervert breath into breadth of zombies.

Oppressed, depressed, repressed, regressed, suppressed
with innumerable inhibitions
whose ultimate effect is to arrest
all lovelyhood for ecstatic visions,

a person, born a breathtaking diamond,
is submerged into a sunken island.
