Wired for Principled Conflict

Original Submission by Neo Abrahams

Wired for Principled Conflict

The mind is the chosen entity of immortal invasion,

Fueling up the internal hate in my brain state,

Dying with my own flaws of neurology,

Corrupting me, escalating war in MGPS embassy,

Of clown, envious culture of hazing,

Leading demons to double down,

Illustrating the downfall which looked like and was thought to be profound.

And a familiar sound blasts out,

As Neo stronger than ever

Dragging all demons in the shed,

Mallet-pounding all their heads,

Proving peace has never been afforded,

And rest has never been made for me,

As I desire for this, I see clearly, I was never wired for it.
