Hope Speaks

Novelty keep me vertical Everything is plastic now And I am just an effigy Born out of necessity A poet turned stoic then zen Then back to poet again Learned peace turned leafs Everyone is on a journey That's heroic hope speaks Novelty keep me vertical Habits what keep me terminal Life's a lot of things But one of them isn't merciful If Mother Earth spoke She'd say that it's nothing personal We flammable we burn This Entropy's irreversible I cannot confirm That any of this is purposeful I know that concern Like what if this isn't workable I know that in turn You learning you not invincible But fragile as a Sandcastle Choosing blue over that red capsule Whistling a ditty To your dirt nap Can't wait to revert back I know you been hurt bad Probably even thinking You deserve sadness Tragic how a caged bird Sings about wings turned to ashes And so it goes We live what we know Reap what we sow I suppose we wear clothes because Everyone goes with the flow But sometimes it's just cold Clowns are in the quarry Kicking rocks like Life's a funny story If you let it be Actually be tragic If it wasn't for its brevity Wouldn't feel the magic If it wasn't for its entropy Everything is plastic now I am just an effigy Born out of necessity A poet turned stoic then zen Then back to poet again Learned peace turned leafs Everyone is on a journey That's heroic hope speaks I know I know the world Should be enough but We descendants of star stuff Constellations in my mind's mind I'm consulting with my inner inner pulsar Walking toward the North Star Walking up to Zoltar Pesos in his pie hole Man that's all I can afford Telling me my life's in tatters Telling me he know cadavers With futures of higher stature Even my old lady think I'm maybe a disaster I would put it past her Or blame her I know my trajectory Might be perceived as call for laughter But hell only one bucket to kick Rather be a failed artist Than a cog machine, pristine, cookie cutter prick Headstone filled with epaulets But never said a lick I was here goddamnit This music my flagship Always meant to be together Like a sowed up Cleft lip Like a sowed up Cleft lip Clowns are in the quarry Kicking rocks like Life's a funny story If you let it be Actually be tragic If it wasn't for its brevity Wouldn't feel the magic If it wasn't for its entropy Everything is plastic now I am just an effigy Born out of necessity A poet turned stoic then zen Then back to poet again Learned peace turned leafs Everyone is on a journey That's heroic hope speaks
