The long long road ....

( wander - dear child )

In this the Final Hour

When life ends and only wisdom remains

And you remain
In what ever shape
You are in

••

Naked & pure

The long long roads leads to Me

The strength of ages

Honed by creation

Into a face
That is your own

Sheds it's mystique

Leaving you here
Alone with .. Me

The crystal beach

The playing dog

The naked moon

We could be so lovely
If we'd only try

Past the wild worship at the shopping mall
Is the true beginning of joy

Human dignity

I walk the primordial ocean

I see you in the waters

Becoming LIFE

Every body finds their place within true Cause

Every body truly understands the Cosmic Law

We come from high mountains

( We --- the high mountain song )

••

Lovely  -  heavenly
Lovely ( we are )

From the high mountain
We are who you cried for
We are what you dreamed of

We are the meaning
We are the reason

The gentle child
Has the courage to remain
Alive for just a
Little while more

The darkness is great

We -- ( the light )

Have come

Nothin that ya want

The old dragon rises

Nothin here ta see

No no

••

Nothin

Nothin at all

••

The frieght train leaves at dawn

All the lovers are demented

The old dragon rises

The children are cryin

The lovers are demented

Everybody sees

""

Nothin at all

Nothin here at all

No no

No no

Everybody sees

And as imagination falters

(& you ain't here at all ! )

I shudda known

( I really did )

( I really knew all along )

••

The words you said !

You addressed them to me
But they were meant for no-one

••

Ah child !

Did you believe ?

••

Lost and alone

Talking of Love

Lost and alone

•

Come

Down to the river

Come with the midnight come with the dawn

With the flowers in your hair

Come with the dream keeps the Soul alive

Come with the stars
Come with the sun

••

Did you even care at all ?
( About anything ? )
( about anyone ? )

•

You may say YES
but I just can't believe

••

Ah child

Come on away

We certainly may

Die in the mountains

But at least

We hurt no-one

We only stayed free

••

Come

Now that imagination's done

And all hope is gone

---   ---   ---   ---

Metalic dreams !

Spider man love !

•

She calls to me to come out of the vast fascism
That has become

The death knell song

We worship

••

( the fascist song we worship )

I WUV YOU I WUV YOU
WON'T YOU **** ME PLEASE

MY KNEES ARE SO ******
FROM CRAWLING ALONG

I CAN'T HARDLY EAT THE ****
OFFA THE STREET

THAT THE FASCIST PIGS
OF THIS CORPORATE STATE

HAVE LEFT FOR US
TO HUMILIATE

ANY REAL FEELINGS WE MIGHT STILL HAVE

••

I see you

••

She calls to me to come to her

In a real sense

For real love

••

She says

LEAVE THESE DEAD POETS TO THEIR
SELF AMUSING IDIOCIES !

THEY WON'T CHANGE

THEY ONLY REINFORCE EACH OTHER 'S PAIN

TO EASE THEIR OWN

••

( she too
Sees ---- you )

••

Sweet mercy !

Compassion !

Grace !

••

( is BERYLDOV LEW correct ? )

Is this healing humor
Or hurtful sarcasm ? )

••

Does anyone care what wisdom remains

In the metallic dreams

Dying
Dying

In our Spider-Man hearts  ?
