Kaleidoscope World

 oh, he found the dark road
failing at every turn
his world took him by the hand
and wasted his flower of youth
he tasted
he drifted naked
among smoke-filled rooms
phony laughter
one night stands and warm bodies
with cold hearts
his unspoken thoughts
kept him seeking for the truth
eh . . .when truth was addressed
he ran and hid
though his road was dark and dangerous
somehow he managed to
steer the course
and now he is here
with a kaleidoscope world at his fingertips
he sheds no tears
though spears have pierced his soul
the dark road
was what made him who he is today
a man who
has found peace
and happiness
life does surprise us
