Red tie
Brings the conservatives from their
Desperation
While the blue tie
Holds the democrats last hope
What is the point of
A red tie, blue tie, same damn lie
Why trust in that that can’t be trusted
Why hope for something that has no hope
Why go over and over
I don’t trust anyone
Who trusts the politician
Rather the one who solves their own problems
And can be a light for others
Please lead us
To a better future
The banter of feedback
From the ones who are one
The whole of the world
Focused on the same words
The same phones
The same lights
Upon the death of Coachella
Comes the highest elite to mourn
In the finest garments
With the highest followers
Draped on every word
This is not where art can live
This is where art dies
Step into the office of crusaders
Upon the light of day
For the money pushers
Know what they want
Know what they can get
It’s the power that lets
Them choose what wins
And what can lose
The waters of forbidden
Movement
Only allowed for the upper tier
So bring your finest jewelry
To setup a final loan
What they want
Is your soul to own
Take one step
Into the great unknown
Don’t relent
This path has been shown
Away from the lights
And meager attempts
To be anything else
Today
In the present tense
Walk to the forest of
Wide expanse
Breathe deep
Then release
For as the words
Fall from the page
What your hearing
Is the instructions for dissapearing
To fix the problem
Unwired discreet
Imperfection
Loss of connection
Ascension
Into a malleable solution
The fires of past
With the winds of the future
Hold the fire at ease
While the shady solutions
Arrive today
So hold the twig in
A palm so tight
As we wait
For a better time
Keep your thoughts slow
And take your time
When all is falling around
You have to see the light
Of what the world
Can be
And don’t give up
Life can be made
So this how you
Breathe in a burning house
Depths below
Bellow with the sway
Of the riverside
What the river knows
It will never concede
To know or not
So take what the waters shed
The waters of life
Substance
Take it one moment at a time
With the gentle whispers of the
The river
Upon a light foot
Of feather wind
Born on the evening
And raised in the morning sun
The angles tread
In the words with us
In our spirits
Unseen
Protecting the feeble and
Weary
And powering the peaceful
So take heed today
That we go
Where the angels tread
All else has failed
The world is simply
Upside down
Good is bad
Bad is good
All is against all
In a darkness no one
Understood
Would take us back
To a place of proclaimed hate
For those against us
And as the darkness falls all around
In the quiet
In the depths of a plane night
The wind will remember your name
Mirrored in the waters
Of a blithe Lake Michigan
The city reflects
Cool and collected
Over the volumous water
Blue and lurking
Over the shores of the lake
Overseeing lakeshore
In the lights of the city
Speckled in orange hue
We see ourselves living a life
Me
And
You
