An Homage to Cash

Curled up like a sidewinder
So to our emotions entangled
As natural as a river’s flow
So tomorrow comes without force

Smiles light a fire
Hugs bring a flood
Kisses are disastrous
In a good way

As we board a flight
To a destination on a map
Your life in my hands
Your dreams in my heart

A calming presence
Spirals become weightless
My only wish is I could
Deliver on a promise

To have and to hold
In sickness and In health

Never have I ever
Doubted your love for me
I love you more and more
For eternity

Cradle of humanity

Learned?
As if through
Nom chomksky

We play off
Eachother
You act
I re-act

They threaten
We cower
The universe
Grammer

We tend to
Eat what we're fed
In the land of abundance
Follow the masses

Crept
Into our bedrooms
Like a
Philanthropist at night

Not reason
But faith
Oversimplified
For the lower classes

Propaganda
The illusion
The apathy
The manufactured consent

Uganda
The conclusion
The beginning
Of the end

Trepidation

In light of a certain situation
We'll will work through this
In spite of a certain trepidation
We'll will work through this
In your light this curtain of persuasion
I can work through this

This certainty is potent
Having you to fight my demons
They pale in comparison
To the strength that you posess

If there ever was a reason
It there ever was a time
You are it forever
Forever is my only time

Zeitgiest

Sensations
So sensational
That I can’t even

“I can’t even“
My generation’s anthem
Anathema

Waited on
Hand and foot
Paraplegic

Raised on home improvement
And cooking shows
Voice activated lights and Red Bulls

Surrogate iPad parents
and when their batteries die?
Helicopters fly
Helicopters fly!!!

Kids will
Have kids will
Kids will have
What kids will
Kill will

Geriatric
Profalactics
Otherwise
Selfish tactics

Symbiotic
Self hypnotic
Numbing the senses
Content with the masses

Epiphany

A billowy cloud
Are the thoughts in my head
Holding out for rain
Seems like an eternity

Analysis paralysis
Is the precipice
On which
Our existence is built

A slow build up
Of a bad foundation
God bless our nation
Godless damnation

Those that have seen the truth
use the knowledge to control the masses
or follow like sheep until they're ashes

Let it rain!
Coming down like a hurricane
Wash away all the plaque
and send a plague to distract
the new world order

The year the music died

What could be so bad
To make you want to leave?
What could be so good
To make you want to leave?

In the whirlpool
Who knows which way is up?
In the whirlpool
Giving in is giving up

When I catch a glimpse
Of what could be
or what was
I'd rather close my eyes
I'd rather lose my sight!

It will find a way
To wipe away the pain
To protect itself
From what was left unsaid

Put you on a pedestal
Pull your pedals
Lay 'em on the floor

Watch you wither
Nurishing tears
Forever more

Seeking sunlight
In the shade
Will you act right
Once you're spade?

Recanting your words
Twisting the facts
Suppressing opinions
And breaking our pacts

So don't talk back
How dare you?
Have you no respect?

I know best
Ignore the rest
You are in the wrong

Don't give in
I'll fit in
If we just stay strong

Fight the battle
Win the war
We've fought it all along
