Reality track #1 Dystopia
..and then came the fallout. There were no more walks around the block. The parks and neighborhoods stood lonely. Fearful hearts hunkered down behind closed doors...took to the mattresses. It was hard to find nourishment for the mind and for the belly. Those who had a good companion during those days were lucky. The ones who had bad companions were out of luck.
Then came the announcement that on certain days, people were allowed to leave the house to receive their inoculation. Everybody who was inoculated got their freedom in return so it was said. The ones who had gotten free made sure...

Rough Seas
Finding my center
The place of calm
in this storm
Navigating my ship
A roof over my head
and provisions galore
My spirit rises
and my inner voice
guides me through
I have always been a good navigator
when seas get rough
I am grateful
The place of calm
in this storm
Navigating my ship
A roof over my head
and provisions galore
My spirit rises
and my inner voice
guides me through
I have always been a good navigator
when seas get rough
I am grateful

Courage
Fear of death
freezes
Fear of death
manipulates
Fear of death
oppresses
Fear of death
kills
Death is inevitable
Acceptance opens the door
to live life with courage
We need courage

In War Times
A war on the mind
Never mind
Mindless
Our world
Isolation imposed
Locked in the fear chamber
Questioning that
will make you
the enemy of
the new normal

Falling
House of cards
comes crashing down
no aces left in the sleeve
Falling slowly at first
falling for you
then picking up speed
free fall
hitting the ground hard
Going to pieces
What is there to loose
but illusions
It used to hurt much more
Am I getting callous?
No, I think I am healing
I still breathe
My heart still beats
I still feel
I still love
It's good
I am good without it
comes crashing down
no aces left in the sleeve
Falling slowly at first
falling for you
then picking up speed
free fall
hitting the ground hard
Going to pieces
What is there to loose
but illusions
It used to hurt much more
Am I getting callous?
No, I think I am healing
I still breathe
My heart still beats
I still feel
I still love
It's good
I am good without it

Abyss
Hey...I can see you over there
the other side of the canyon
I see you and you see me
but we can not touch
We can only wave
and inbetween is the abyss
Building a bridge will take a while
I miss you...
the other side of the canyon
I see you and you see me
but we can not touch
We can only wave
and inbetween is the abyss
Building a bridge will take a while
I miss you...

Circus
The monkeys are loose
throwing shit at the audience
For this show you better wear your hazmat suit
Watch out for the fire spitters
don't let the tumblers distract you
Freaks are lurking behind curtains
setting traps for easy prey
The pretty princess on the white horse is a shape shifter
Don't get too close...she'll bite your head off
Hungry beasts pace back and forth behind rusty cage bars
The clowns are sharpening their knifes
There's no business like show business
Innocence is blind
Ignorance is deadly
Don't buy the...

Mind f**ker
There are those
who like to play...
who like to play games
Not chess, not sports, not poker
but mind games
They are those who play strategy like chess
who play competitive like sports
who play deceptive like poker
They enjoy the game of psychological warfare
They find it exhilerating to fuck with someones mind
There is no trick too dirty
no lie too absurd
no intrigue too underhanded
If you engage you will play by their rules
You will get entangled in their sticky stuff
and while you try to figure it out ...

View from my windows
Look and see
What's a chain to the beggar
is the sugar tit to the rich
There is no more envelope to push
Charles Bukowski left a long time ago
The post office is empty
so are the bellies of the poor
There's filth and feces in the streets
There's filth and feces in the brains
Nations built on broken backs
Spartacus had it right
break out of the circus
Maybe we can not win this game
but at least
if only in our minds
we can fight this machine
I am not sure
but maybe
there is
glory
in the end
What's a chain to the beggar

There is no more envelope to push
Charles Bukowski left a long time ago

There's filth and feces in the brains

Dirt
I've been hurt
and I don't care
I've been dirt
and I don't care
Dirt is the fertile ground
from which everything grows
and where I go to
in the end
anyway
and I don't care
I've been dirt
and I don't care
Dirt is the fertile ground
from which everything grows
and where I go to
in the end

The Gift
I dwell within
concentric thought
runs rings around
and swirls about
deep digging
mining the layers
searching for essence
to bring forth
from the depth
of my lair
a creature
gives a gift
to the world
love happens

and swirls about
deep digging
mining the layers
searching for essence
