Precursor

Hello This is my doing I guess you want me to answer for it I will if I feel like it Some say we all have the same sense of aimlessness And we're preyed on by the leech behind the curtain But I think we've gotten passed that That could be my inner mantra mixed with booze talking though Turning my back to the confusion only to find that meaning has already found me I look at the leaders, they only can make educated guesses And we'll all know if they did the right thing years from now I've never put my name in the hat for consideration But I know I'll still get called when my turn comes They can touch me and I can't deny what I've said or done But they'll never lay a hand on the ideals and truths that are in each of us I'm beyond grateful for knowing this I may become old I may become ill I may starve and die but my creations will go on for eternity Moments of pleasure Moments of purity I won't name names or cast stones I won't chase paper or fall to my knees for guaranteed safety That's why I'm here, legs crossed and mind silent Spirit centered and flowing free My adoration for the underdogs and stray cats My respect for honesty and curiosity for experimentation Have taught me invaluable lessons Just give me a shot, I know I can make a difference I can see both sides of the fence I can see between the lines of supply and demand I can see the blinks between life and death There aren't many of us but there are more than before Hopeful Pushing for unity and looking for our face, our voice We have our suspicions But more than that we have love
