The Monologue of Saul

 


(A lone voice whispers)


Have you ever wondered if your soul is just mirrored reflections


Fragmented shards of an augmented reality


A divine kaleidoscope of your own perceived ideas 


Of what to do to get to your version of heaven, and how to avoid hell?


Overlaid onto a real-world environment


Are you too logical to ever really understand, but just bravely parading around like another human being 


Locked into a social engineer's dream


Trying to live within, and under its dark magical, mesmerising spell


Hypnotized by whatever is subliminally repeated, on your handheld screens 


Slowly waiting unconsciously, before it's too late for spiritual understanding 


To return to just you 


To truly see there's more to life than chasing paper dreams


Before you catch the last bus, to take you home to atone 


In The Great In-Between 

Where you'll be asked


Did you live a life clean life or did something happen, that was unforeseen 


That caused you to live temporarily, unclean
