the strings have called
i've yet to answer
the voice is appalled
i see visions of a dancer

i hope
someday
i'll be there

don't be late, now
it's inevitable fate, how
long will i wait?
observing all this Dynamite
that Eddie Ate

Good Bye to waiting
Good Bye to setbacks
Good Bye to Eddie

start, don't stop

lest i forget
how dreams flop

i deserve a life sentence
for killing all this time
writing these sentences
that occasionally rhyme

up above,
the sky is crying

you're not alone, sky

many humans,
feel your pain

they can relate
to the sadness of the rain

across the seas, danger lies
a villain with big goals
a villain of microscopic size

within the schools, children chatter
enthused by prospects of freedom
not knowing how much it matters

over the intercom, principal screams
"we'll be closed for two weeks,
for a brief quarantine"

fatal two weeks, turned to forever
now we've grown farther apart
as we couldn't come together

hiking boots brought
green hills climbed
difficult journey, but
only good times

at the top,
barter is offered
paper for grass
is instantly passed

going continues, unknowingly
climbing on air

disruptive, eruptive volcano
freezes the mind
perils of quicksand
prospects of return

lava subsides, turning
freeze to flight

in the distance
a higher peak
is obliviously avoided

dazed and confused,
the hiking man
rendered penniless again

Stay present, sons and daughters
Hopping around in mud-soaked waters
You all delightfully scream
As if there were ice cream

Laughter spreads as contagious
As the ******-filled book pages
Of the hungry hungry caterpillar
Loved before the fun-killer

All paths are the same
Innocent joy turns to shame
I'll join you all and get my fill
After I pay my electric bill
