Poetry
Lyric:
A Simple Life
V1:
Concrete road rolling by
Nowhere to go, nothing to see
My wheels turn with inevitability
Like the tick-tock of a grandfather clock
Their rumble simple background thought
Day by day I drive, without knowing quite why
Chorus:
Why do we strive
What’s the point of the fight
Can we win, can we stopour plight
Do we have time to spare
Does this world care
Is there a meaning to life
Can we end our strife
Will you end this journey alive
V2:
Clear waters ripple forward
With no start or end
Lazily floating around a bend
Ducks relax without a care in the world
With bread I act as their herald
Of food to come, and the simple life of a coward
V3:
Words flow across a page
The pen feels an end in sight only to start again
Each stroke makes a world left unknown to men
Does this world have value, or is it another bland line as well
Although mighty the simple pen has no way to tell
Dipped in ink it is ready to start a new age
Tankas:
I’ve stumbled through life
I walk on not knowing why
Yet somehow I live
Striving to change my own world
I cast out thoughts to make change
It’s Carpe Diem
Seize the day motherfucker
Use adrenaline
Run at top speed, get away
Carpe Diem, don’t die now
Load the ballista
You must listen to their screams
Appendages torn
Beside your face there is death
Do not look, load more, see none
