A Look Inward At Darkness In the Mortal Soul
A Look Inward At Darkness In The Mortal Soul
Strange now rests overburdened seas and hapless stars
Undiscovered jungle villages that think all earth is flat
Those that slow walk total blindness but never drank in bars
And in the tepid night, those that never hit when at bat
Yet Nature marches without clock or a smidgeon of guilt
It far flies its soul outward for all mortal men to see
In the secret alley truth is stabbed up to the hilt
All the while oppressors wage a war against you and me!
Strange now rests overburdened seas and hapless stars
Those that slow walk total blindness but never drank in bars
Yet Nature marches without clock or a smidgeon of guilt
In the secret alley truth is stabbed up to the hilt.
Undiscovered jungle villages that think all earth is flat
And in the tepid night, those that never hit when at bat
It far flies its soul outward for all mortal men to see
All the while oppressors wage a war against you and me!
