Poets Corner

“Sober minded folk, in there so called place of consciousness,

Yoking these ropes

That choke the death out of

The barely conscious.

The ones who live in

Far away land

Trying to stand strong

In between two worlds

But these so called sober

Minded folk!

These sober minded folk

Choke choke choke the death out of

The creative mind,

And find anything to label them as insane!

Oh yes “Refrain from their

Insane thoughts of life”

Yoke that rope a little tighter

And cut them off from their death

And blind their artistic vision

With their damn soberness

What is a sober mind?

What is a sober mind…”

-Danae Beckford
