“Escaping Immorality”

We are conscious of our handicaps.
We yearn to behold things,
beyond this condition.
And succumb to wishful thinking.
This mind is not ignorant of the truth.
That perfection exists, but,
we are born like this.
And we be introduced to our history
–this grandeur, continuing and unimpeded.
Our minds absorb things, all around,
and suffocate in this putrid isle.
We be given will.
Do we choose to leave this isolation;
we drown,
if we do not learn how to swim.
