Wring My Mind

by Caleb Freeman

Another time to wring my mind

Of the drug that binds my soul.

This senseless drive I soon realize

Will someday leave me cold.

And I wonder how I came to be

This ego mad machinery.

Human sorrow, human pain,

I climb, you climb, we climb in vain.

A mortal leap into the bane

Of a million, million slain

By the poison of their mind.

I look, and see, but never find

Time now lost and left behind

To abyss forever signed

By the ring of the man

Holding all in his hand.

So take this life; use it well,

Cause every moment tolls a bell

Another man built on sand

Lived his life to go to hell.
