Escapes
Robert loughran 1962 (Ireland)
The anxious mind seeks only escape,
to where it doesn't matter.
Philosophy .faith ,the nearest gate,
a relationship in which to fester.
.
The conscious mind seeing all this,
knows in love we must abide.
And all the fabrications of our desires,
from truth they can not hide.
So the battle is between,
what we know, and what we feel.
.We support our wants with convenient reasons,
while truth alone is real.
If fear and want drive us,
then love can have no place.
No matter how many imposters,
our fevered minds create.
