THIS ONE?

SHE WILL BLIND YOU WITH HER FIRE
BEFORE ABANDONING YOU TO THE DARK

SHE WILL SLIDE INTO THE SEA BELOW
BEFORE REACHING FOR THE SKY ABOVE

SHE WILL DESTROY AND SHE WILL CONQUER
TO HER, THEY ARE THE SAME

why is it that the global things are overlooked?

we are amazed by miniscule creatures,
delicate circuitry tracing green with gold,
replication and division of cells.

we are amazed by stars we'll never see,
men looking down from orbit,
galaxies collapsing in supernovas.

we aren't amazed by things limited
to this terrestrial world.
we aren't amazed by global epidemics,
or people fighting for peace,
or this strange thing we call love.

we aren't amazed by the everyday
but maybe we should be.

I THINK YOU AND I COULD BE
THE NEXT UNDYING DYNASTY

i'll ask you a question:
what starts a revolution?
injustice, suffering, pain,
or ideas, dreams, aspirations?

i'll ask you a question:
who starts a revolution?
bolivar, castro, washington
or shakespeare, cervantes, thoreau?

i'll ask you a question:
what sparks a revolution?
why, it must be clear.
the authors, artists, creators -
they start a revolution.
all the conquerors can do
is finish it.

we live in a world built for extroverts

where our punishments are
"you can't go out tonight"

oh wow you sure showed me

ALL THE LOVE YOU LEFT ME WITH SHAKES MY HEART LOOSE FROM ITS CAGE

AND IT HAS NOWHERE TO GO BUT **OUT

flowers that shiver
grass that dies
and love that lasts
