The shell

The mind wears a shell

It has cast such a spell

Everyone’s entrapped

Awareness is wrapped

The mind’s hide is thick

Weathering every trick

We’re forced to play along

Giving up time for a song

Unbreakable wall of brick

On which thoughts stick

Washed when senses rain

Cleaned for a new stain

The mind’s shell thins

By shedding old skins

When none are left

It ends the greatest theft
