The Lightness of Stones
Throughout life you collect friends like pretty stones
eventually you may end up with a pocket full... or not
as life goes on the number of stones fluctuates
depending on circumstance, death and so on,,,
some stones make you sink, some make you light
when you express political opinion ,stones surely will collide
make ugly music- become chipped -you tend to lose stones this way
keep opinions to yourself the number of stones usually rises
gaps in political philosophies are growing deeper and wider
everyone afraid to speak their mind-poisoned grows the silence
elephants-v-asses
class-v-class
life-v-death
wall -v-sanctuary
gun-v-gun-less
natural resources-v-nature
no dope-v-dope
nationalize-v-globalize
for certain it'll never end...
its about time I cut a hole in my pocket,
release some ballast-swim to my island
start a fresh collection of sea glass and shells
invite things that smile and make pretty heart music.
But sharks are always hungry and heavy as hell...
So heavy on the bones.
