Freedom: Speech vs Lunch

Carl SetzerLeave a comment

Both lunches and speech
They are striving to be free
Each in its own way

I’ve thought about the intersection of these two conceptions of freedom for some time. Working on capturing the subtle distinctions between the two ideas. 

Lost and Found

Carl SetzerLeave a comment

I’m so lost
    Somtimes
  That I fade into
     The noisy clutter
    Of the street,
       Vanishing into
         This swarm of
             Life.

Often, the only
  Way to be found,
    Attaining the deepest
     Human connection
      Between souls
    Is to boldly
       Lose yourself
   And become
     One
        With
           Everyone.

Encompassing Oblivion

Carl SetzerLeave a comment

I seek the oblivion
Of knowledge

Within the finite emptiness
Between yin and yang
Exists everything,
I long for.

I won’t seek to tame.
If anything, it’s your
Flame that appeals
Burning bright against
Dawn’s light. Glorious
Destruction.

Plato’s cave reverberates
My eyes adjust to the light.
