Placid Pond

Placid pond, the stillest place on earth. Don't hate the pond scum, appreciate it's worth. If you want to be with me, then just be with me. I am the pond scum, please hear me. With a belly full of fire, how easily we conspire. Don't mean to call you a liar but the pond scum sires. Stay away, it's mud you seek not wine. Wine has you flapping your gums about the plight of the water hole. I'm the pond scum, chains run through and around me. The muskrats they found me. I am the pond scum, green in color. Angered and abhorred, but I am your brother . I am the pond scum, I walk with breeze I am the pond scum, purity through disease. I am the pond scum, true to form. I am the pond scum, the silent storm. Overgrown path, concealing overgrown frog prince. The children use an awl to cup away the ice;the torpid muskrat freed, at the party he is me. Modern Sophocles he sees, but at the party he is me. You ask him can he hear it? There is a reeking spirit. It takes the small an makes it all complex; The overgrown path, concealing overgrown frog prince. Journey with me, through all space and time; Return to self and you will find. I am the pond scum, I walk with breeze. I am the pond scum, purity through disease. I am the pond scum, true to form. I am the pond scum, the silent storm.
