A world with two moons—in a dream, I roamed there. I saw its evolutions, cultures, and civilizations—where dignities are preserved and nothing is bare. A delusion that you may call harmless—if you care! As a child that wonders upon the radiance of angels and what made them so brilliant and fair!
But, in “human” land, some with their spite much harm they dare—set to offer a pure soul to a serpent—so an illusion may manifest—while pleading their sorceress to burn a nest—Chanting away: give me, give me, so they think I’m best—and I’ll pay its price with a fairy’s hair.
That dark magic is far from a plaything, my boy! So watch out when you think you’re being coy—everything has its price—the return of your evil—you’ll pay thrice. When the wicked boomerang you threw—is back in your face to destroy. It’s an iniquitous fare to pretend you’re fate-master—Careful! With that you shouldn’t toy!

Out of my mind! Indeed I am. Why try to simulate rational in an irrational world? Where all play “life,” in a world dominated by controlled folly and un-cathartic ambition! When their egos are threatened—they batter you as if the act is a natural tradition.
(“Be pragmatic! Be realistic!” They counsel, “we are limited, just be content—walk soulless and do the thing—money, profit—our way! You know! Commercial stuff that can sell! Money gets people out of hell! Poetry is for dreamers—shouldn’t dream. Dreams are for sleepers—just be like us—get real! Just follow the trend—don’t you try our rules to bend! Hear our silence—it’s so sad! “Still” desolation is nobler than mad—the happy ending is just for movies—the world’s painful truths, we can’t mend—and authenticity is not so groovy! Just, let us blabber together in empty levity—as in a fearful humming calm—misery always appreciates any simulated beauty. Yes, true wealth is within—we just have to cut ourselves open and grab it! Your world is lovely for a verse! But still, upon God’s plan, let us not “fairly” curse!”)

Just, one mile at a time my mind! Awaiting my new divinely ordered fate, I think—above and beyond—I’ll narrate what drives my lunacy! We blame the other world, yet, we are the other world! We do the bloodshed behind the scenes—and pretend we’re not its destiny’s ink! I look at my hands and how they're stained—and with a kind conscious I may say: my sigh is quicker than a blink! http://pressroom.prlog.org/amalislim/

My main message is if we fight our inner daemons, learn to forgive and love ourselves, do and attract the good; then we can reach our inner peace, where all other blessings stems from. When we reach this point, we do not have the need to fight or hurt one another, thus, tolerance, compassion, acceptance, and hopefully, earthly peace. The whole idea is to increase awareness on what really abides in life and hopefully better people and world.
