Honestly

I’ve heard of you so uncommon it seems

the lucky few whose constant is new hopes and dreams

your everyday outlook, I hope it hits me like a beam

Transform me into something greater than myself

make me as important as those dusty tales I shelf

Great stories of a famous greek traveler

or an English man with an act for unraveling string

a rebel of sorts the everyday unraveler

like a classical tale you must dig to see what I mean.

My agenda is hidden within an old and tattered page

more often than not my purpose is found within a cage

and what really appears as old and forgotten is space age.

New and shiny just as cold as metal should be

so clean and reflective it’s you, you will see

frightened by what you can’t accept you flee

What do you run from, and where do you go?

would I know if I saw it, if I’ve been would I know?

The places in this world only a few may see

of these great cities and forgotten buildings that hold a sacred memory

like a camera whose picture you couldn’t take properly

only a feeling of that carnival and the few seconds you rode gleefully.

A day filled with nothing new but nothing old

it’s just as translucent as a storytellers stories that can never be told

when it comes to money his dollars are already sold

while playing poker he bets after his fold.

The yellow brick road has turned white due to time

it’s full of holes and scratched surfaces plus a stolen outline

we can’t accept that things change so we call it a crime

so easily accepting one day that road will pay his fine

disregarding the fact that if you have lost your way maybe I’ve lost mine

We place blame on people due to a feeling or radical thought

we don’t learn from the lessons that have already been taught

we don’t remember the battles we have already fought

in a time with so little we take a lot.

Even the world’s most extraordinary civilizations have fallen before

when we know there's nothing left we dig deeper hoping for more

with our leaders in denial an economical and ecological collapse is in store.

Quit trying to spend money you don’t own

stop trying to grow wings when we have already flown

enough of trying to be the first to reach the unknown!

ALL ORIGINAL!!!!!YAY!
