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
