Cure for our own Forgetting
Just because it's natural
doesn't mean it's right
we've been given thumbs
to make those clubs
to knock the same ones down
a thing hasn't changed
since we manifested some idea's prolonged isolation
into a destiny that we know too well
It's all a kaleidoscope drawing itself in
to its own optical illusion
brightly colored and full of awe,
a new path somewhere,
awakens.
where the ones who shun are the same
as those who control the selling of things shunned
brightly colored and full of awe,
wait.
Close your eyes,
Sleep tight and Dark,
Keep dreaming for the dreamers,
Get high,
and wait.
--
I'm past the point of having feelings for anyone
It's sad and blunt,
but true.
we're using allegories to make terrible things beautiful
so brightly colored and full of awe,
I can't do it anymore
and when I'm gone
away from this place
all of a sudden I miss everyone
yet the snare drums raps in the back of the mind
the distant humming of planes will stop one day
crossing the world
to cross it back
a streak of white
against pale-blue sky.
Ancient pottery thrown up to the planes
the cure for our own forgetting.
