Someone told me once that the artist loves the limits of his medium, because it gives his art direction. A marble statue is distinctly marble, a watercolor is distinctly fluid, etc. "Finding some peace in these bars" reminded me of that...bars could be steel or musical measures.

"An idea can change the world if I believe."

Whispers _yes! to self. I wouldn't mind hearing this poem in a poetry slam. Crutching with vices, ignorance, and the eternal soul. Bruh.

Mad jam

Sounded more like a retrospective freestyle

The ego whispers that we know best
and leads us to judge all of the rest.

Aye! More like the perspective thing you always talk about

Life is more complicated than I perceive;
An idea can change the world if I believe.
Truth isn't something that can be shown,
it transcends perspective and can only be known.
Before I waste my time trying to convince
or convicting another until he repents,
I need to look inward for the answers I seek;
Consciousness doesn't plateau or peak.

And this does it for me. Ideas change the world. It may not look like it, but we're either promoting one idea or the other each we make choices or even think. And before we step out to judge other people's motives, we must first subject ourselves to our litmus test.

There's no limit to the things we can know. (However, I think there's a limit to which people are ready to know; maybe I'm wrong)

Blessings
