I stood outside and the breathe I took was ill

In the middle of a thousand galaxies and I was standing still

So crisp, my life is defined by the hard contours of a carbon-copy skeleton

Listening to mis-told truths by born again Americans

Stand Up, pick your cause

This world that we live in is riddle in flaws

But it’s not about looking for the answers, it’s about asking the questions

So I ponder my existence and I think about the lessons that I’ve learned 

To somehow conjoin my spirituality and acknowledge my reality is much more than broken pieces, toxic gas, and expired leases, no

If I let the truth unfold and sing out my heart’s liquid made of gold

We would see the miracle of one flower bloom

Not this impending doom

This need for revolution, which holds the solution

But it is not what you think

The truth is we are on the brink of rediscovery 

To find out that our recovery lies within you and me

And this poetry is a commencement against bigotry 

Allowing for otherwise voluntary symphonies to sound, to let out a loud howl

To say hey, I’m sick of all these obscurities this is not the way

To say hey, maybe let’s walk away from this society with some decency and some sobriety 

Because change is in the air

Don’t stop and stair

It’s time to move

Shift into groove

Because history may repeat itself, but today is a new day

There’s a new chance for a new way

No to relay the relayed

This perpetual resistance decreases our substances and thieves like Fungal decay

In midst of this obscenity, we forget our identity 

We forget our affinity to infinity

We are on overdrive

We seek to thrive, but forget to survive

In a world that is out of focus

It is chickity wack and all these people they are talking smack

But they say love is all you need

So show it, grow it,

Prove it to the screen

Say to the meaning, that is this what you mean

And can’t you see with one eye, two, or maybe even three 

That there is a divinity in all of us

A higher calling slowly urging us with its wind-colored flesh

To take a breath and forget the rest

Because in the midst of it all it is easy to see

The key to immortality resides within the mind

We are infinite energy contained, 

But there’s no need for distain because it can all be rearranged

Just be open to being open, soak it up

You get to decide how much water is in your cup

Or just to be grateful that you have a cup and that there’s something in it

So fill it

Fill it up

There’s more to life than these darkened ruts

It’s so sweet and so simple

Soak it up
