SONG OF TRUCE

SONG OF TRUCE

When I isolate my being in a 
place of solitude

seeking to gain balance within 
the chambers of my soul

exfoliating scales of sins off the 
nudity of my mind 

they say I am antisocial

when i sell my ears to the voice 
of the gods

hoping to gather knowledge 
which defies matter and space

detaching myself from the 
affairs and noise of this life

they say I am strange

when I visit the womb of time
searching for the origin of my 

progenies
digging up artifacts and vessels of 

medieval climes
they say I am of old

when I purchase the heart 
of a woman

reaching out for her love and 
care

since we all have right to a 
pursuit of happiness

they say i am lewd
