Poetry (soon Songs) from a long day
Philippits
I am waiting
for a star to fall down
from the sky
free the rest of us
I am praying
for the rain to fall heavy
heavier than it's ever been
wash our afflictions
I am standing
on the ashes of a revolution
that has not heard song
nor breathed in flame
See, the only drug worth indulging
Is least bit habit-forming
I have found the one (I have found the one)
I am singing
to the tune of poets dead and gone
Only a specter of manufactured
money mills remain
I am clinging
to the only true words
a great too many men used to say
to seize the day
Do not delay
Corny (as hell)
Light as a feather
Stiff as a board
Gather hands
Magnetism is key
Summon gravity
the almighty
Unbeliever
Confined to your church
of things seen unholy
My heresy
Just coz he's dead
Don't mean you are
T-rigo
People say
freedom is lost
soon as it is gained
time and its pathways
in Bowie's great maze
No way to find out
How it all began/ how it all turns out/ how it all ended
The gods used to say
You must be outta your mind
to think this way
to be this way
Or else, a slave
(with) no way out
aching to complain
a straight line not a plane!
