Discard your selfishness
As they anarchize their whims
Simplify your needs
As they bend their own regulations
Dare I speak the philosophers curse?
The fates have cut the thread of thought
Silk threads fall gently upon my fingertips
Decimate your ideals
And let go

I like this piece. You have some really good images here. "the fates have cut the thread of thought" is one of my favorites. I have to say, the last two lines seem rather abrupt and choppy. It seems that as your lines get longer, the flow is smooth, but then you quickly jump back to the shorter line length. Also, check out your punctuation. The lack thereof was throwing me off as I was reading this piece.

Overall, good job.
