Down River Running
Radically impacted from forming shadows
Moon on my back as i walk through the hallows
Picked apart, shifting dark, using rare powers
Don't let the internet waste all hours
Making that, Taking back, soil for flowers
Changing concerns with the money earned
Getting so worried when the world still turns
Underpaid, overworked, overworked, underpaid
Needing new ways for our children to learn
Investments and funds their on the run
Washed downriver to the beat of our drum
Factories churning, with speed and power
Building on building, this fantasy is shallow
Take it down, root around, show some devotion
In the horizon a fiery ocean
Swells and it heaves
Lives and it breathes
Ill swim in it still
until it leaves.
