Thought
Mystical
In this world
– but not of this world.
Ephemeral, intangible,
and yet, perpetual.
Thoughts reign supreme
because they determine what we deem.
Such are their colossal power
they can imbue an idea to flower,
or ensure it will sour.
A thought can liberate the mind
securing its independence,
or imprison it so it becomes wholly dependent.
It can open a door
allowing a person to soar,
and create a law,
which helps the poor.
However, can promulgate a lie.
One so authoritative that no rules apply.
It is no wonder a thought can cause people to die.
