Cultural Cave

Self, awareness and understanding, crying in the cave

Human mind

Neanderthal life, stagnate spiritual evolution

Systems corrupted by a la carte materialism

Condiments without substance, we starve out sense

And accept predicaments, circumstances from ignorance

False piety, materialistic comedy, tragedy in disguise

Poisonous lies, diseased inside, more carrion

Less light, back to black, afraid to leave the cave

We left caves for houses, shelter to protect

We stay in caves for shelter, fear to project

Ignorance inhibits escape, dungeon bars the exit

Thinking protection from those existing in the light

Outside shadow-dance, frightful scene on cave wall

To break from the norm, inside out, entrapped freedom

Run, fast and far, never to look back, avoiding other caves

Once in the light of day

Stay away from the shade

Grasping shadows

Take attention to care

Beware

There are cave dwellers out there, everywhere
