Surrender

The heart within pumps

The rich red royal fluid

And your body machine functions

Your creative, expansive mind

Concocts formulae

Deciding how your body organism

Finds sustenance, enjoyment

And most of all avoids pain

 

The dreamer, you, perceive, create

As you build, block by block

To accomplish

To reap rewards

As you move

Ship, build, design, experience

On a higher plateau

 

You do this within the framework

Knowledge acquired

Reap the reward

Beautifying your nest

Dress fashionably

And end each day accomplished

Proud to the point

Of ignored acceptance

 

Yet strip all clothing

Wealth �" all materialistic

Right to the naked bone

Your total stored mental reservoir

Your intellect, your acumen

Like the youthful wise hermit

 

Now, like a savior in sheepskin

Gather your companion

The echo “What is life all about?”

Sex, debauchery, procreation

Or our collective wisdom

Our attitude towards harmony, friendship

Local and world peace

A sensibility to friend and foe

 

Yep �" platitudes, platitudes

Our ego sparkles and blind

Our lust driven bodies

Enter the arena of flesh

Gleaming immediate status faction

While the nuclear bomb is waiting
