Beyond Persistence In Silence

Asleep while awake Walking among the living Trying hard to break The monotony and gluttony misgiving Lends to the sultry atmosphere Saturated with dope As departed souls in the troposphere Perambulate on cumulus clouds grope For eternity in serenity Ensconced in minds so busy They vie for dignity In a world so clumsy Life stifles freedom In a straitjacket on a one way ticket To the cranky kingdom filled with boredom Where the dime in my pocket Screams to break free To roll on the floor Kept clean in a glee That knocks on the door With no handle Which turns anticlockwise To heal the vandal Whose blunder bundles surprise The Devil in the den Which conquers the strong Whose stamina in Eden Writhes in pain when the grim gong Knells for the last time Pleading for life to release The last dimes that mime Please, please, please, please ‘Let me go for good Cos I can no longer stand Flavours, odours and rigours in the mood and food Devoured in grandstands that won’t understand Reasons for life Reasons for existence Reasons for a freedom fife Reasons for a silly circumstance Beyond my milky way Beyond my persistence and insistence Beyond my last say and delay Beyond my perseverance in silence.'
