" The Princes "

In the crystalline limitations of God's everything
Prince's are likened to heavenly bodies
And the heavens themselves misunderstood
With Princely jealousies
Mistaken for genuine seduction....

It is a dangerous state where they live and remain
In human form
But are elevated in the eyes of the laws
That filter God's good intentions
And eventually corrupt
The well lived lives and Loves
Of lemmings
Who, through Princely advice
And subtle indoctrination
Lead the way into political concerns
And away from the humble
Quietness
And forlorn appearance
Of those who blindly adhere
To the intervals
Contained
In the midst of the words
Of "The Way"....
