Neuronetic Narcissist

Too close to touch
Too obvious to see
Too inspiring to feel
Too good to be

This terse verse
That fleeting feeling
The quick glimpse
The faded memory

Absolute
Finite
Animate
Carnal

Beyond the grasp of a material consciousness
Hard coded into Mendeleevian constructs
Interpreted by organic orgies
Regulated by a neuronetic narcissist

Too wrapped up to untie
Too happy with this great lie
Too sensory to sense
Too involved,
Too dense

Rigorous Vigor

Our place unknown
Seemingly alone
Understanding of function and intention
A contravention
Solace in your perception of yourself
Sitting atop an ego throne

A reluctant member of society
Creating propriety
Beating truth and expression into submission
Societal transmission
Lost in thoughts and dreams in remission
Generations have generated futility

Blessed with miles of potential
Beyond exponential
Entrapped in a seductive seclusion
Of ego and confusion
Wasting away maintaining the illusion
Preclusion for what is inconsequential

Coerce you and self to discuss
Aspiring virtuous
Life is to enjoy, talents are to employ
Create while others destroy
Through deeds and labor come joy
Vigorous while rigorous
