Conscience, pure and simple.
What we are, yet are not.
Simple, yet complex.
A wellspring of knowledge, knowing nothing.
Old as time, yet ageless.
Hyperbole understated.
Mourning, hating, loving, loathing, emotionless.
Anthropomorphic, without depiction.
Here, but yet not.
Filled, but with holes.
Ethical and righteous, yet methodologically immoral.
Colourful and bright, yet invisible.
Touchable, intangible.
Grand and majestic, yet poor and haggard.
Unjust, yet compromising.
Masochistic and cowardly.
Eternal, with end and beginning.

I do like it.. It is agreable to an extent... but some things i do not agree with, its not my stylr... but i agree with qoe here, it is very different. Yes, we are strange beings, but I advise getting used to the spiritual realm before you judge it, only a piece of advise, 4/5
