professionals disagree, each to their degree
the honors bestowed upon minds of brilliance
chained to the doctrine of clubs, social, school
we will not agree, other than to disagree
not to build that bridge to close the gaps
between separated minds and epiphany
do not crumble the ivory towers hiding
truth of injustice left untold to unfold
maintenance of the status quo elusive
a mirage suggesting change loses
play the cards and pull the poker
a bluff populace again the joker
walking the streets
everywhere I meet
even on the Internet
a virtual superhighway
rest stops don’t exist
peace from calamity disguised
there is no place to go
nowhere to run and hide
the parade of messages
to condition my mind
to furnish my emotions
to answer the final prayers
sell me, sell me,
i am not my own
just another commodity
to push and pawn or own
they took flight into the light
birds of a feather flocking together
once soared in physical form
now embarks toward the light
instead of what might
what fate awaits those — left behind
we took him so literally
the bush of fire that spoke
little we knew of psychosis
and verbosity it spew
laid before the maiden fair
upon the heated desert fire
the insanity of man’s mind
claimed more than retired
the species onset to course
slavery of a different mind
to ideals and ‘voices’ called god
the alpha, the omega
she was on fire!

Sleep, sweet beauty, sleep.
Close those worried eyes to tomorrow,
the day that will never come.
Sleep, sweet beauty, sleep.
Let the dreams of your dream
breathe into you new life.
Sleep, sweet beauty, sleep.
That I may take you into my arms
again, just one more time.
