Standing In The Shadows
The Earth lies flat on its bare back and gazed at the universe with its empty guts with worms crawling from its side and the lava bubbling up inside.
It has been there for more than a year, seeking out a path but something is stuck into its guts and draining an unusual substance inside. If you examine it from a far, you could tell from a distance that something was about to break and you have to find a pinhole to release it before the mountains start to shake.
The children are having a jolly good time rolling and frolicking on the ground not knowing were destiny is bound. Everything looks normal as can be and the birds are signing a global melody. They are flying form tree to tree picking feather from the other birds back mating in the sun and dabbling in hot pleasures.
See them soaring way up in the sky,flopping their strong wings as the clouds' rolls by, they are sending a message back on earth that nature is mature and the two headed shark is living on the ocean floor.It is that wooded feeling you get when the breeze is blowing the waves and you are almost out of breath, the sky is frozen and the mountains breaks its silence and I speak.
Why do you stand so far apart and leave me wandering in the dark, why do you empty the garbage in the streets, wrapping your fuzzy tail on the land and singing the beggarman's song . I have been watching the sun coming up and going down squeezing the energy out of the town and I have to lay low when there is now where else to go and all you see in front of you is the Earth with its brown crust saluting you and the cars rolling by with hopes welled up in their engine.
Something's has electrocuted a hole beneath the earth, turning over a mountain of dirt, the temperature is increasing and the earth is baking. If you walk barefooted on the ground your heels will get brunt in a simple turn.
You see that whole section over there it is marked with a kind of memories and if you go closer you will feel heat and destiny will change your heart beat. Something is standing in the shadows imaging' my movement over here. The Earth's surface is hot you have to start wearing frocks.
