2am Thoughts Poem by Ellis Einhorn

Free me of these late night thoughts—
when the mind succumbs to such temptations,

submerged beyond cerebral matter
like a dark cloud rising at sunset.

Free me of the social confines that
keep me captive in the basis of

conformity, chained by the puppets
and the overbearing strings of their

oppressive commandments. Free those
that've never experienced the

unfaithful liberty of the
American Dream. Free the mind of

society, verbose with standards
in the mind of a man. Free us

from labeling humanity and
allow us to behave with compassion

rather than act for satisfaction.
Free those that've never known what it

truly means to be free other than
the right to walk down the street.

Why are we numb to feeling free? Freedom
is justice, so let us all be free.

Free me of these thoughts that will keep me
awake, cuz I just need some sleep.
