I KNOW A CAT NAMED CANINE

(A song in a Rasta Riff)

Not sleeping
Yet so wired
Insomniac dream state
Incredibly tired

Futuristic blind spot
Imperfectly flawed
Going through the motions
Enthusiasm stalled

(CHORUS)
To conquer death
We die
Leaving those we love
To search and wonder why

Words of contradiction
Acts that reek of lies
Society sedated
Lifeless mirrored eyes

Junkies crave escape
Legal or submerged
Fleeing from the pain
Following the urge

I know a cat named “Canine”
In the vein of Genghis Kahn
My moneys’ on the Dog Man
When it’s time to get it on

CHORUS

Gliding through the mainstream
Drifting past decay
Focused on my children
Each digressing day

Train to Machu Pichu
Flight to Montreal
Wandering across the globe
Answering His call
