A LITTLE SOMETHIN’ TO JUMP FOR
Way up higher than ten feet, the hands’ bones slam on the rims, no longer hard rocks to fall
Easy as a swish through a nylon net, big boys and girls throwin’ the pea down, jammin’ a call
A little game created to keep the young fellows out of trouble, without it we’re doomed to see
Just a civilization of smaller skeletons, less than six feet long, two feet wide, miraculous to be.
Computers, #2 pencils, ball point and fountain pens, vaporized trees’ pulp into leaf pages
To capture the light and the ink in accepted, standardized forms, to read and digest sages
Wise men who told some tales without giving away the secret, why we’re here, who we are
Gods gave a narrative to the scribes, they wrote it, we read it, nobody ever knows it there.
Until you and I reach the final showdown, before the fear of death overtakes your tiny mind
Think about it, you were thinking of things and soon you won’t be, it will all be over my kind
Presence of sons and daughters of the unseen, above the matrix’ essence, below a poop deck
Children of men and women are what we are, that is all, no more or less, hey what the heck?
Motivation to move up and down, in and out, over and under in a 360 degree kind of circle
Is dependent on the ingestion of proper sustenance for the apprehension of momentum’s pill
You and I and no one else but the first man you met on the street, horns blown, here and now
Back doors side-locked tighter than tom toms, snares and a bass drum, skin of god’s spells.
Strings to rub the sound out of the friction, melodies and rhythm from hearts’ ebbing souls
Provided the stuff that dreams are made of, nothing substantial, no substance of tide flows
In or out of love, in or out of veins, bloody feelings seem to be all there is, either to be or not
Nobody knows, philosophers and priests pretend to know, the sheeple’s need to be a robot.
