My Own Mind

Distending skywards and exploring space
Forming new creatures, a synthetic race
Imitate nature to gain and refine
Deftly humanity’s spine

Fighting insanely in hundreds of wars
Expanded realms and discovered new shores
Ordered as master, obeyed as a slave
So many ways to behave!

Breeding the cattle and cut down the woods
Tilling the farmland, trading with goods
Painted in caves until forging the steel
Conveying, shifting by wheel

Species in the stardust
Taking the next breath
Even love and warcraft
End in death!

Lighting up the darkness
And dive into the sea
Climbing high on mountains
Agree or not to be

Fly over the skyline
Look behind the sun
And evolving high signs
To be or to be none

What are true treasures
The hands full of gold
Or inner wisdom
Which frankness unfolds?

Seeking, striving
Building, denying
Shaping, forming
Phantoms in my own mind
