Super Faded
11/8/21
Such things could not easily be duplicated
Let the truth be illuminated
Too sedated
Super faded
At times I hallucinated
And often ruminated
Woke up the next day feeling terrible or rejuvenated
And recuperated
Ready to do it all again a true statement
Another eye got enucleated
The moon going through lunar phases
In the background the music faded
Another thing seen predictably or a mystery soon awaited
Meanwhile always those who hated
And continue making comments and stupid faces
You don't know the half
Yet you're so quick to judge and laugh
It's still the same old typical crap
In the light of day or when it's pitch black
Still drunk and so high
Paying all this B.S. no mind
During high and low tide
Close and far from road signs
For now it's go time
All along the coast line
As the wind blows by
Done lucidly
Speaking truthfully
Usually
I would partake in the foolery
Faced a lot of scrutiny
Folks caught up on being a pillar of the community
Others in a state of lunacy
Another step closer to a eulogy
In a world full of cruelty
Much of it carried out brutally
The rest of it done dutifully
And beautifully
For a long time I stood neutrally
It's all no longer of use to me
There's soon to be a mutiny
For ill will or equal opportunity
