No Illumination

No Illumination

A Poem by RJ
"

A rock song I've written about my waning respect for the world in general.

"

I feel as though I’m wandering in the dark of night

The tension just keeps growing like a wave inside

It won’t be weird if I should find

That there’s nobody there when I ask for a light

While I’m losing my way wandering in the dark of night

 

There’s no question and its obvious I’ve lost my mind

That’s what I get for judging everything solely out of spite

And it seems I’m never right

I’m at the perfect place at the incorrect time

There’s not doubt in my head, I’ve obviously lost my mind


Sick of always being on the run but I can’t go home

The man was just a step away, I guess he got postponed

I really wish I could atone

But I just don’t care cus I’m f*****g stoned

I’m sick of being on the run but I can’t go home

 

Did you ever contemplate the meaning of your when and where

And whether or not your situations worth repair

And if there’s one more thing I’ll share

You might hate the world but nobody will care

You’re better off thinking of your when and where

It must be nice hearing this in tune with the music. Have you ever recorded this my friend? anyways, I find the feelings of the poem quite relate-able,maybe because some time in our life, or the current or the past, we all go through dark times without any means of light & life around you, as if nobody see's yah and care is out of the way. Running away- in life's long run, it is never a good answer to any problem, or else like the poem said, you'll lost your momentary sanity and dive into the depths of your insanity. Intense piece my friend...
