Vinegar Part One
a metaphor; imagine the sea is a representation of you, of your life
in this personification, the waves are representative of pain, of our strife
avoid the turbulence above, a place so close, so different, a place so frenetic
towards the chaos, the calamity of the waves on the surface , remain apathetic
there is no need for the negative emotions, all they are; unwanted commotion
let them be calved from us like icebergs from the glaciers, doomed to wander the ocean
ebbing and flowing, melting slowly, growing more miniscule with every passing day
until they can't hang on, until they've all gone, until the last one has faded away
on these thoughts of sorrow, these thoughts of hatred, you must never, ever bide
just relax, just breathe, just give my way a try, the icebergs, they will be cast aside
I say this genuinely and true, I mean every word I say, each one from my own heart
my intentions are pure, a plan to bring peace. it's simple, this knowledge on you I impart;
in the quest for decencey, for compassion, to be remembered as a remarkable man
don't follow a misread book, a profiteering man, don't follow someone else's master plan
for the motivation should not lie in a fear of hell below nor a promise of heaven above
no, the inspiration for our causation comes from deep within the sea, within us, it's love.
