Do You Wonder Where You Land?A Poem by Bane
If you follow rabbits
You will fall in holes Is this an obscure habbit Or a journey of the soul Is a white rose painted red Still a rose at all Is this a misconception Or a metaphor of the fall Of our own senses And what we perceive Our concept of reality And what's behind the scenes If one pill makes you smaller The next one makes you grow If you never try them How will you ever know Metaphors and anecdotes Try or not to try They will never serve their purpose If you leave them all behind You need not chase a rabbit To learn about yourself When white roses are blooming Leave your paint upon the shelf And as for those pills To shrink or to grow When in doubt, double the dose Its the only way to know Do not think you are so fragile Or lost, never to be found Keep your thoughts agile But your feet still on the ground Lose all your fears Forget all your dread There is no matriarchal tyrant That will claim your head We are all just catapillars We are puffs of smoke We are the punchlines To someone else's joke Where is this all leading How deep does this all go You could try to ask a rabbit But, I doubt he even knows. © 2014 Bane |
