My World Today

What is it I am learning today?


Learning the value of minutes

Learning the value of rear window ethics

Learning that the winds of despair cannot be stopped

Learning that the value of values cannot be taught, only sold

Learning that the value of dreams can now be measured

Learning the dreams are proccesed, packaged, advertised, and consumed

What is it am I hearing today?


Hearing a stream of standard cliche phrases

Hearing that most of us really have nothing to say

Hearing ideas being tossed around with no one listening

Hearing beliefs being passed around, everyone listening

Hearing ignorance dispensed, and everyone speaks blind hatred

Hearing that that greed is all that is said, that politicians are naked


What am I seeing today?


Seeing broken pieces of a ball point pen

Seeing 1985 all over again

Where fear rules our hearts and culture is forgotten

Seeing our minds being programmed and not discoverd

Seeing a childs blood run down a river with everyone drinking

Seeing mothers with no children search for redemption

Seeing knowledge criticized and ignorance immortalized


What am I feeling today?

Feeling im going somewhere slow

Feeling that marriage is now just for show and nothing more

Feeling dissapointed eyes staring at me again

Feeling succesful lips dissapointing me again

Feeling that minds rule the hearts

And the hearts pay tolls to the souls

And the souls are the serfs of are unsure minds

Feeling wisdoms rain on my face while the rest run for cover

Feeling like im always in search for her, or someone like her

Her skin so fair while she wears a crown of roses in her hair

She speaks to me at night when im trying to dream

And tells me to stop feeling that way and to pretend she can't be seen
