On the Sidewalk

Lineage of beliefs that we chance to learn
through other people form the base knowledge
from where expressions' formed of fond desire.
Appreciation's filtered through curtains
of distrust that's been setup on locked doors,
and through contraptions of assorted kinds
we sit contended with autonomy.
Here lies the life that you've been given with
to dare conjure different visions of purpose,
to complicate monotonous ideals,
to continuously assert your past
and in present experiences seek,
but you engage the gears of free thought in
nightmares by sanctuary of broken dreams.
