i take tea with dream queens
speak of things we've seen
find a reason for feeling
my beings a broken down playground for angels and daemons
neither succeeding but if either one falters
see resolve dissolve like salt into water
as vicious fish feed on wishes missed
in a land of stained glass mansions ripped to bits by bricks
i sit in the ruins of beauty
shackled to the smoke stacks that take the place of fruit trees
whose loose leaves feed by smooth breeze
screamed colors in the end
no sound but wind as they blanket the ground
now cement foundation in the midst of a wasteland
lets face it, i'm the son of a country that rapes sacred ancients
run on hungry tummies ad the pouring of pavement
escaped basic enslavement to make this statement
all i'm asking is to live is a fashion
where people are capable of conjuring a bit of compassion
shatter established learned patterns of past
burn frigid bridges, map paths in the ash
smash the hour glass open, make castles in the sand
sing the songs we sang before the dawn of man
in the past on the grassland masked dance reenacts
stories and myths that are actually facts
back before division eclipsed intuitions wisdom
we lived within cyclical rhythms
a fission splintered existence into fractions
now prisons replace simple interactions
a graceless fall from graceful relations
i meditate and wait for the day when
we awaken forsaken imagination, make grapes from raisins
and create substance where space had been
stay patient with limitations, make them become useful
two sides to every sword, the ugly and the beautiful
to be truthful i house both good and evil
together forever, i exist as all people
full spectrum collection, like light reflected in prism
splits infinity, many eyes like insect vision
hell is repetition, the only sin in coercion
heavens the condition of two bodies merging
virgin and the slut, secular and sacred
molecular awakening in bodies lying naked
everything the same it all became plain
men as straw dogs, women paper cranes
in the hour of now watch a new dawn rise
there's beauty in the view even through polluted skies
purify the poison, heal and live again
give something real, feel and befriend
sip from loves cup, sup on earth's pleasures
fuel all your fires and fly with your feathers
endeavor for heaven for over-extendace
bests resting forever then clutching at remnants
when its cold and dark and hearts start to harden
stay out of stasis, grow like a garden
fear has no basis, there's no need to cower
leave needless weeds, reseed them with flowers
in after hour shadows scour city back roads
jack tractors and backhoes
and smack concrete with an axe
so grass grows through the cracks
wear squares back down into round shapes
as before the human race replaced the ways of apes
face the past and the future but reside in the present
stay wide eyed to life, savor every second
as summer sun becomes wind and rain
through the storm we're reborn, laugh to mask the pain
and grow from the strain, so it goes from birth
turn cruelty into beauty and help to heal the hurt
we walk upon this earth but we're only human beings
so i take tea with dream queens
and speak of things we've seen
