Where It Leads V
So, what now, we bow down and deeply appreciate
a few random lines scribbled down in haste
what a waste of our time, you expect praise and cheer
fame, fortune, recognition, a spot in the great hall of fame
what a joke, stupid bloke, drink some water, choke
leave us be, disappear, we don't want to see you anymore
"I'm sorry but I don't want to be a celebrity, that's not my business
I don't want fame nor fortune or a life in the spotlight
I should like to help everyone if possible, Jew, gentile, black man, white"*
Despite what you've been told, we are about to enter into
an Age of Poetry, an Age of the Mind where words are given new meanings
and we begin to see the world, ourselves with different eyes
Freedom of information, thought, millions of people sharing ideas
expressing their innermost desires, fears in many a ways,
days melting into weeks as the mind seeks escape, rushing towards
a state of union; awakening to the simplest of truths
"I am the World and the World is me"*
So, you see, all I want is for your mind to awaken with mine
if not now... in time.
The little engineers of my poetics working non-stop
they always manage to bend the rules of the clock
and arrange the blocks, stubs of lines and rhymes
into something that makes sense, sense words with wit
take your time, let them soak use them as a cloak
that deflects, protects against random acts brought around
by shrewd facts spewed by the tricksters concealed
in our everyday life, whom very much enjoy laughing at our strife
Arm yourself my brethren with intelligence and let's engage
in tactical warfare protecting the fair, crushing those
evil tricksters trying so hard to ruin our days
Once the epic battle is won we shall hold a feast
that will be remembered in days to come, rum will flow
and our drunken selves will be astonished by the glow
of fair maidens waiting to be asked to dance
and be thrown in a state of romance, a glance
into those alluring eyes...
