“They tried to teach me
The infinite possibility
Living inside as my soul
Could be sold for some shiny metal
That they called gold.
But they couldn't reach
Far enough inside of my mind
With their warped rhymes
To alter the golden etchings of wisdom
That reminded me —
Who I am — my soul —
Is priceless beyond material prosperity —
No matter its apparent luminosity —
For all that lusters does so
Because of grandiose exchanges of energy
Between Earth and Sun...”

the ones who want us to live afraid.”
