The Intricate Mysteries of Being

The Intricate Mysteries of Being

An albatross flying across the Antarctic
A telescope monitoring the intergalactic 
A horoscope sharing interplanetary 
plastic
Let’s elope while we still think each other is fantastic 

A quiet analysis of all that you see
An enduring paralysis, divided in threes
The infinite catalyst for humanities greed
A stone they call amethyst to absorb what you need

A decision that’s already decided by fate 
The precision timing required when it’s already too late 
An environmental Marshall plan that solves the current state
A beaurocratic nightmare stand that doesn’t make you wait 

An inventory of political dilemma 
The tragic life of Aryton Senna
The factual specifics and detail that you cannot remember 
The feeling of absolute soul loving splendour 

A shadow of memory that brings tears to your eyes 
No longer an enemy, or too ashamed to cry 
Just bold enough to always ask the question of “Why?”
And eternal enough to mention your God when you die 

I’ll climb a rainbow to see you if you’re at the other end 
I’ll stand tall in my pain and I will not allow myself to bend
My soul is so grateful for you my beautiful friend 
My heart is so full with love for you I can’t pretend 

John Lennon on the day he was assassinated 
The Kremlin corrupts the way that Russia is conflated 
A gremlin with too much to say about what needs to be stated 
A man down on his luck and constantly berated 

Conforming to the normal rules of societies expectations 
Reforming the definition of the cruel and coherent observations
Performing a rendition of The Fool for ceremonial cremation 
Forewarning a premonition from the prophetic school of perennial contemplation 

Distinct visual images detailed across the sky 
Instinct residual grimaces entailed by detatched passers by 
Succinct comical statements derailed by renegades of style 
A precinct under observation impaled by corruption and the lies 

Perfect geometric three dimensional shapes 
That are mathematics to the eyes 
Hermetic free conventional states
That are problematic to mankind’s 
Abilities to clearly see what’s coming around the superficial bend
There’s no reason for me to intervene when your time is coming to an end 

So don’t evolve too quickly lest you cannot integrate 
Or won’t resolve it briskly when it’s time to contemplate 
There’s no one to involve the Whiskey at this drunk political debate 
Except the detectives to solve the mystery of what time did obfuscate
