Insulated
Beauty bated
raise the bar
the note unfaded

Hop the fence
no regret
silver lining
smile Bet

throw the Dice
black & white
feel the colors
swirl Light

standing armies
corporate whores
political music
diluted bullshit

barbed intelligence
defanged by laws
who’s the loser?
who’s to blame?

we are not indoctrinated
indoctrinated
indoctrinated
indoctrinated

where’s the power?
who’s the Ceasar?
cemented capitalism
blinded populace

corrupted truth
endangered youth
wicked witches
beg to differ

We look for a way to quench our thirst
Sometimes withering in a desert devoid of emotion
The happiness surrounds us but the truth is hidden
Everyone is a soldier with hundreds of medals

The moments beyond sadness are a celebration
The day without it is a momentous occasion
The hidden truth is our badge of courage
A smile is the ceremony of life

The two extremes both begin and end
The fire will burn the water will burn
The water will soothe the fire will soothe
In the middle is a murky pool

Oh the beauty of a crystal love
The simple perfection of a single rose
Sudden silhouette of a shadow
Raindrops trickle across the moon

Radiant sunshine surges alive
Sonnet of rays pierce the clouds
The glimmering pool of vibrant reflections
Trappings of life’s direction

A luminous balance
Hangs by countless threads
Swirls gently with the wind
Raining life with tears

An illusion of separation
Mirrors of reality spinning
Unity in division
Glory in the sum of it all

My relaxation, my vigor
Swirling beauty surrounds me
Gentle mists of gold

I see purple colors call breathing
Inner light dances like a candle flame

The crack of an unbridled belt
I run clean metal across a basketball
