Platitudes of Exactitude

Platitudes of Exactitude Platitudes of exactitude redefining my whole attitude Don’t want to seem rude but I can’t help but conclude That the truth will protrude From a form that just wants to be misconstrued Everything is in litigation Or it’s about representation of information While the train has already left the station I’m so in love my heart soars with elation But we’re on different vibrations I’ve been recognised by the United Nations But that’s the very last of my important invitations Because it doesn’t mean that much to me unless I’m involved in demonstrations Conversations about gender, race, human rights and greed We’re all enslaved by the daily race to acquire more than we actually need Many who were falsely arrested are crying out to be freed And the truth is always fiercely contested so all you liars better take heed The seed of a prophet crying out from a street corner A NASA made rocket, a perfectionist performer Don’t let me ever say that I didn’t warn you That this planet needs a reboot before A.I. decides to storm through. Charitable donations from the rich and famous. Worried consternations from the poor and the nameless. Neither section of society is entirely blameless We all participate in acts that could be considered to be heinous. There’s constant sacrifices of morals and ethics And compromises in science in the field of genetics We’ll redifine the definitions as the pace gets more frenetic Like a frenzied composition from a man no less than pathetic I won’t regret it unless I take no more action While the mathematicians get distracted by geometric fractions Like an osteo-physician that works in birth contractions Or an arrogant criminal lawyer making official statements of retraction I recall the instant where your mood went sour I ran away from the torment as it killed me by the hour And found catharsis in the petals of a delicate flower And marvelled at your masculinity and consummate power So overcome with admiration and elegant considerations I nearly won the wrong predicament and sent you commiserations But my loyalty stayed true to you and I overthrew all considerations And put my reputation on the line while you made the preparations So I suffer through my love for you And wander through my painful days Will I have the strength to see this through Will I ever see through this haze? Will we laugh together like two co-conspirators or be innocent like children ? Can we not take any visitors until we have spent our time together and filled them? Back to the point of a manifesto forming About Gallilleo and Nostradamus and the warning It’s the prophetic state of a vision that is forming All before we can properly integrate we must withstand the weather of Global Warming It’s a sure thing to bet on the heaviest contender Another thing to infiltrate and be a true pretender I remember the days when I used to go on a bender In a mind altered Purple Haze while playing my electric black Fender We all engage in creating an illusion While we become enraged and distorted with confusion All the while singing in harmony and perfect unison While we wait for another irate political protrusion I’ll take your hand through the conflict and sorrow And hold you for the rest of the remaining tomorrows While there’s nothing that I could ask for or even want to borrow That could make me desert you for any reason or furrow You might be a man of the world you set on fire But you’re my light and of you I’ll never tire You’ll forever be my one true hearts desire As we wade through this life our great bond will never expire
