Clarity

Jealousy is an ugly monster

Quite a clever ruse
I must say, your excuse
Is quite a mellifluous play
On such a rainy day
Why do we hide?
Dare we venture outside
Into the unknown
From such tadpoles we’ve grown
Into the people of today
In such skies of gray
Why do we seek blue
When the clouds forsake all hue

In the park down the way
We walk, gathering the day
Nevermind the monsoon
We cannot bend the spoon
For such tangible objects
Are fanatical rejects
Of the realm of despair
Hidden in thin air
Right in front of your face
Disappearing without a trace
Into the darkness of night
Where the sightless have sight

Echoes come careening from on high
From the far reaches of the sky
And into my cerebellum
Waves of sound, as I strum
Leave my lonely guitar
Will they reach the mountains afar
That is not for me to know
They go wherever the wind shall blow
As they are taken away
It is to you, I silently pray
That you will hear my message
And release me from my cage

The story begins here
In a world of doubt and fear
The witnesses of such terrible crimes
Cower in such times
Of despair and turmoil
Blood covers the soil
Your plans I did indeed foil
For months I did toil
To shake free of your clutch
Your jealousy was simply too much
And now in a moment of clarity
It has all struck me
