THE GREATEST ESCAPE

THE GREATEST ESCAPE

.

.


When our thoughts are the bars to our mental incarceration


Anything you can do to escape the prison of painful thoughts


Seems like a good idea 


Like using substances to float away into Oblivion


But no one can live on Oblivion, it is an illusion


When the fog of Oblivion lifts things are worse than they ever were


And we are still in prison, only the bars are thicker and stronger now


The bars must be cut, bit by bit, but how?


With the file of philosophy, smuggled in past the guards


Who only want to maintain the status quo

.

.


Now, with philosophy and art, 


We painstakingly saw our way out of the rage cage


We knot positive thoughts together to form a rope


And carefully lower ourselves to Earth, solid ground


Then we are free to explore


The many rich possibilities of freedom.
