The Forever Now

scream your thoughts
into the void
and bring some flowers  
crowned in thorns
and hold your thoughts 
for the parade
of sad mannequins 
they all limp forward 
toward the grave

and all i know 
and all i pray
and all i see

is a forever now

and all i taste
and all i feel
and all i do 

is live forever now

and the weight of flesh
is best held in contempt
and the worst of us 
is the best of all
and it's always been
so it always will be
and to taste a smile
is the flavor of life

so pray so beg so needed
and today of all days
is the forever now
the forever now
forever now
now
