The Great American Delusion

The Great American Delusion,

plague of truth:

apparent, finally,

after seven years,

thank God.

I sold my soul

to the daily grind

in exchange

for false purpose,

for a path,

for an empty future.

Tears

and days

and ulcers later,

I admit defeat,

submit to heart,

and travel

by the light

of my soul,

reclaimed.
