IDLE MIND

The spirits that play, never stay long
Linger enough ‘til something goes wrong
So many souls, so little time
Creating confusion, delusions, and grime
People get hateful, smiles turn into grins
Eyes lose their shine, greed slowly drips in
Looking around, your friends aren’t the same
Spirits get bored, their souls they have claimed!

Spirits that play, never stay long
Lusting for fun, you dance to their song
So little time, and you don’t have a clue
As you flirt with the devil, just what he will do
Chaotic eyes stare back from the mirror
You adapt to the crowd, thoughts get unclear

The spirits that play, never stay long
Right on your tail, as your life moves on
Wicked schemes, empty dreams got you so high
Not accomplishing a thing, time passes you by
Spirits get bored from the souls they have claimed
Idle mind, devil’s workshop is the name of this game!


An Idle mind is the devils workshop as the saying goes. It opens “doorways” for spirits, allowing thoughts of cheap thrills, self-doubt and self gratification just to name a few. I am a firm believer in the unseen world, observing faces of people (wealthy and poor) go from vibrant energy to dark misery. “IDLE MINDS” gives a brief, poetical yet comical spin on human life today. I think it’s safe to say that a majority of the world out here knows someone who is doing well in life, but the next day you can’t quite put your finger on why your dear friend seems like a stranger. Or why they just don’t seem the same. When a pathway of happiness and peace opens up, their will surely be an “unseen” obstacle to throw things off sometimes. An overactive imagination makes it easy to visualize the shadows of darkness waiting to pull on the coattails of happy people, ruining life after life.
Poems message: the flesh is weak, and as human beings, it’s time to seek more wisdom.
