Venus

Too often I've noticed
that this distance cuts deep
between us.

I hold tightly
to the hope I can
close that gap.

Somehow, some way
I'll find my passage
I have more reasons than most.

Thoughts of revolution linger
I stare deeply into your eyes..
Whether I'm stoned or not

Doesn't make a difference
how I feel is too real
stacking pay after pay

Eyes like a hawk on this
television set and what
these corrupt politicians spew.

Patience is a virtue, and
hope I hold on to longer than
I can emotionally regulate the hurt

The longer it takes
to cross these seas..
escape the police state of one nation

Only to come in the cross-hairs
of another police state
God has no borders, no limitations

Viva la revolucion, a tout le monde
one way or another, I'll crush this
bleak dawn of another tomorrow

And finally... I will find my way to you
embracing everything we've become
as our minds soak in our gravitational ebbing
