Upside Down

Surely there is a beautiful design

to every aspect of this illusionary life,

but would you necessarily consider that divine??

Don’t get me wrong, I’m in awe

at its incomprehensible nature

and limitless exquisiteness,

but is it not malleable?

Or prey to flaw?

Is it not simply order in the raw?

Are we able to switch rafts in this flow of infinity

or are we anchored by our perceptions?

Could manipulation of time cause madness in the human mind?

These are the thoughts that plague mine.

If everything is not as it seems,

then you’re wrong until you wonder if you’re wrong.

Should we second guess intuition?

Or throw away our thoughts when we disagree?

Ought we to entertain all ideas equally-

unbiased.

How can one be a free thinker

if they’re a prisoner in a closed mind?

Release yourself, open the cage doors of your brain.

It’s all upside down anyways.
