I forgot about you
Eternal renew
When the day becomes
Night
You charge me
Again
And again
For what I need
On my prescription subscription
So don’t wake me up
To do your bidding
Bid away
In the middle of the night
I forgot about you
Eternal renew
When the day becomes
Night
You charge me
Again
And again
For what I need
On my prescription subscription
So don’t wake me up
To do your bidding
Bid away
In the middle of the night
Bring me a cup of cocoa
Tonight
With the memories
Of a yesterday
Or yesteryear
That is all I need
Is to remember what is good
And important
Now
And forever
A snowball
In the hand
Aiming at a man
Who throws
Two my way
I aim and let go
I duck below
Did I hit him
I will never know
A knights required
Process taken
Process labored
And strained
So for tonight
And the tedious process
Of choosing a direction of life
I postpone
For yet
Another morning
Baffled news
Read in the headlines
What I take away
Is not the linear progression of life
Events
But a new direction
Everyday
In everyway
The knight
Game
Can be won
In a few moves
From the start
Until the finish
With a hold up face
And a few grooves
The game is over
So start anew
It’s always a small move
From the endulgance
To the well past due
A movement
Of hesitation
Of crime
And wasted frustration
All these items held constant
I still remember those history books
We read
Just to laugh about
What came before us
And why we last
I’m a manic man
On a manic mission
To seed the hope
Of a superstition
In between my eyes
And behind my ears
From the light of day
And the hope of years
What would it take
To have complete equality
Of idea and thought
Is it something
That mankind can achieve
I hope with resitance
I believe with hesitation
But I see what happens around me
And I fall back to frustrated
Resignation
The headlines read
From the backseat
A unsettling message
Sent through the ranks
Of the entire
Nation
Awaiting the turning
Of heads
In a different direction
For tonight is all we have
If we lose that
We have nothing
But vacancy
And ashes
On the backseat
