Herman Hesse

(Written in song form in case I make a song with these words.  However, I think that the structure adds to the effectiveness and message of the poem.  This is because the repetition emphasizes the shifting perspective of the lyrics.)

You wrote my life's story for me

Never got the chance to thank me

Never thought to thank yourself

We watched the pitiful beggars

We replaced them with ourselves

Everyone around us turned away

Can't live where awareness is waning

Lies are segregation and perpetuation

Break the cycle

Advance into our quiet independence

We need a New Order

Agreeable and Accessible

Truth is found where no one else goes

I will find you in the deepest meditation

Everyone around us turned away 

Can't live where awareness is waning

Resistance leads your effortless abandon

"Numbness will take you over one day"

"Lies push me away"

Objects are obstacles
