Internal/external

2781

Internal/external 

 

I lay here in the dark 

 

Thinking about challenges 

 

What sets men apart 

 

Why battles are internal 

 

How the mind guards the heart 

 

Words have power 

 

Each has a zone

 

Lives manipulated 

 

Not really our own 

 

The external is governed 

 

By who sits on the throne 

 

Why do you care my lover 

 

The press is full 

 

The vats overflow 

 

It never was external 

 

Did anybody know?

    Well written this flows in metaphor the squeezed juice that ferments in the barrel. Well done
