A Step Forward

you wouldn't believe the things I haven't seen

like the leaves falling from an autumn tree,

a safe place from closed system entropy

these invisible moonbeams or sincerity.

 

you wouldn't believe the things I haven't seen

the atomic bomb, thousand suns' blinding clean,

logic in synchronized step to a time machine,

escaping suffocation in a submarine.

 

you wouldn't believe the things I haven't seen,

the conspiracy concerning love and greed,

the meaningless excusing the mean,

an apple eaten become a seed.

 

You would believe the things I hear,

falling, the soft drop of a tear,

lies that stem from fear,

laughing, cuts!, and disappears.
