Poem Title:
Poem
What would it be like to start all over again, I mean isn’t that the reason, so many of us pen, It just opens up every unknown possibility, Some beautiful some dark, others downright ugly, But alas the truth is, we’ll probably never know, Unless I endeavor to reverse time’s flow, Oh here we go again, he’s still living in the past, Well actually I’m not, it’s more a forecast, Picturing the future, not as hard as it seems, We do it every night, yeah but only in dreams, Still have to wake up, and face tomorrow, Make ends meet, work, pay back what we borrow, Now this is the bit where I go quite insane, Stand back as I cast off these holding chains, Oh Christ! he’s just done another line of cocaine, No I’m clean and sober, or so I maintain, Gonna get hypnotized by this shrink I know, Put in a permanent stupor, my life I’ll forego, Wander this planet, with my head in the clouds, On every continent have a fabulous house, Leave behind the rat race, start a new religion, Where there’s no big brother, and no supervision, Do all this by surrogate, from my own living room, Embedded forever in this simulated womb, Will make time go slowly, say one minute a year, So a day is a Millennium, time will almost disappear, When I make love will last, the whole century long, The agony of ecstasy, oh my will is so strong, Passion will be bliss, happiness put on tap, No death, gonna rid my world of all this crap, Write beautiful poetry, til the cows come home, Muse about Italy, Venice, Naples and Rome, Oh god I’m flying high, soaring unchained, Not an ache in my body, slight twinge or pain, A demigod of nature, gladiator fighting to be free, come on join in, spend a moment here with me, All the haters, you’ll be expelled to hell, Liars and time wasters, yeah you as well, I will not stop, gonna raise the dead, Well only the good ones, under my bed? Boy that was great, was it good for you too, And for a moment, I was really there, it’s true, No need to get drunk, wasted out of my mind, Open up your imagination, it’s simply sublime. 85 billion neurons, in the average human brain, Stars in the Milky Way, more or less the same, Please listen when I tell you, never be restrained, Reality of truth’s alive, not to find it is a shame.
