Magic

Magic occurs by the moment Modern eyes dismiss The world, we think we own it So oblivious Zombies, we roam this land Searching for a bite Everything tastes bland We have selective sight A baby, born today 10 fingers and toes Though the green can't stay We already know How do we know, you ask Expectation, my dear Fairly simple to grasp If you have two ears that hear We exist on a giant ball Gravity is our glue Logically we should fall But God already knew Aren't you relieved That we don't go flying A gift we received Without any trying Isn't it neat The way seasons change Right beneath our feet This ball will rearrange We call them by name Winter, spring, summer, Autumn The subject becomes lame Teachers already taught'em Imagine yourself foreign To this land and all above A gentle blow of wind And you would fall in love Magician's would be your neighbors For they can walk upside down Recite a paragraph for favors Taste, smell, feel, see and sound Whether we realize it or not We live in a world of magic But we accept what we've been taught And that's what's so very tragic
