Space and Time
John Dewberry May 2019
Space and time

Information overload
Substances I can’t decode
Mental processes erode
Is there a reason
To this rhyme
Is this a change
In the paradigm



There’s a state of mind
That I can’t find
Cause I’m caught  between
Space and time

Don’t sell your soul
To be a penny on parole
The melodic highway
Has no toll

Parallels undermined
Logics unkind
Emotions intertwined
Racing thoughts in my mind


There’s a state of mind
That I can’t find
Cause I’m caught in between
Space and time

There’s a state of mind
That I can’t find
Cause I’m caught  between
Space and time

We don’t
John Dewberry May 2019
MISSION STATEMENT

What we feel
Is what we’ll do
If you don’t like it
We can’t fault you

Define us by
Who we are
Not what we play
We don’t stray
From the heart

We don’t live and die
By the lyric
We leave most
To interpretation
We ain’t trying
To rock
The nation

We’re just us

Do justice to the music
( Don’t) think) we’ll stay the same
( Don’t “Know”) what we’ll be
Next, we’ll progress
Regress and digress as
A collective entity
Band, fan or otherwise


Who we are
May not reflect
Your exact ideology
But who said we had
To be agreeable
We’re good


Progression is a non-linear concept
Based on
The ebb and flow of life
The pain and joy that you feel throughout
I’d merely a test

Who are you
What do you believe
And what do you truly know
Believing is awakening

This is loaded but austere reflection
John Dewberry May 2019
Have you ever been to a saloon
On the moon
Where your hair gets styled like a baboon
Have you slipped on a peel
While you were making a deal
On a meal with a delivery man
Have you ever looked over your bedpost
To see Ronald Mcdonald offering up a hamburger
Did Mommy and Daddy kiss you good night
Did the Cat in the Hat delight in trickery towards you
Did the Grinch steal Christmas only to discover a new holiday
Is it a hollow day- it sure looks that way
