Soul Deprivation
Carlos Velazquez
Assault on the mind
Strike to the psyche
Strapped to a chair
The vision is forced
Calamity of the world
Bearing the lesions of its woes
Conscientious mind denied the right to choose
Born
Bred to despair
Groomed to believe
To accept all their truths
Warped minds fall ill
Hollowed out without a presence in the looking glass
Failing
Deluded
Only stains remain; the smudges of their consequence
Exile
Secluded
Inside the feigned echoes of a faint memory
