loss may one day resurrect its sum ~
good news for most too bad for some! (by poet)
I so much want to give the game away
about life
about death
and how I found my way
See I’m a shaman
a conduit
an entity of unknown power
Able to see through time,
and rearrange in rhyme
I’m a god without a heaven
a demon sans a hell,
You know me as David
I speak in code as well
But to give the game away when I write,
would not be right,
although I do have this right
I’m much more comfortable giving hints
It got boring, and tantalising
watching you die,
especially before you were born,
ergo no real fun,
So I don’t anymore
This is what omnipotence brings
knowing the song before it sings,
so I mix the words,
and let the music be!
Lyrics are all important to me
A hint about harmony
I’m sorry to disappoint
it’s not for everyone,
that’s not to say
but is my point
To see an illustration
switch on your tv
And then I hear you pray
Why not peace, equality,
and love ever after
You already know that answer, (free will)
humanity’s greatest strength,
and greatest ill
killing for the thrill
only you fight for me?
I’m on a beach
watching neutron stars
about to blow
“say cheese” (snap)
It’s quite a sight
even for perpetual eyes
Oh what joys!
I am benevolent
I am malevolent
go ahead take your pick
In the end not giving the game away,
is always my ultimate trick
