The Way They Meet

The clouds are rolling and the rivers are flowing The birds are singing and the bells are ringing I have come to this place to unite the human race But some people have overstepped the boundaries And have gone past their places and get entwined in another phase. I have witnessed the sun and the moon crossing path in the middle of the dark and the wind mesmerizing and singing a bountiful hymn One cast plays the tune for the man that is coming From the moon. You cannot trust the moon walkers and the sky stalkers who take rocks to the moon and pour water on ships to prove that there is water to swim. Why do you want to seize power in an hour? When I have spent forty years researching rocks and Water on the moon, you are space copycat and And a secret conniving rat There is a solace in the moon that is taking shape And moving towards the middle of gate, The big band is playing the New Orleans jazz sound And the visitors are moving around, They are walking up down Kitchen Street And looking for something to eat They are showing off their cultural clout And walking around with a nasty frown I have not seen a parade since I got here And the dancers and hookers have disappeared There is nothing to share and the rum is drying up And the people are running around with much fuss I can tell that the end is near and the mountains will soon disappear, victory will be on the run And we will have the much needed fun Bad men will get up and run and hand over their guns, the fussy cussy people will run away And the music will slowly fade away The streets will left bare and empty and Shops will hold on to their misery The town will shake in the middle of the night and the wind will blow in full magnitude And a new energy will flow through the miserable town I will board the plane and fly away in the middle of the day I can see the seagulls dancing around on the shores endorsing the creeps with their long beaks Busting it up from the ocean floor The ice is melting and ocean fish is surfacing Multitudes of then appears from the bottom of the ocean. Flipping and flopping on the dry land and walking hand in hand That is the way they meet.
