WHO’S LOOKING IN STAINED GLASS?
A LOOKER LIKES IT
When you can get past the starting point and just get out of jail free every time you pass go
Eventually y’all will take a little trip to see what it’s all about, with or without me to & fro
I get the picture like it’s a portrait being painted on a blank canvas; it’s a solo I’m singin’
Thinking that we’ve been friends when we never were even close, just two ships passing.
A hymn to the republic of our forefathers, ancestors of the political and economic scrum
High or low profits in every case, a balance of yin & yang on the head of a bent straight bum
Darkness to be slipped into when the final gasp of air exhausts it’s welcome, cough up gout
Marks on the bull’s eyes, below the crown of thorns, above and below your mother’s snout.
Driving the poor lady out of her mind, six children to a catholic couple, opposites attracted
In the yin and the yang, the circle swirled into complete nirvana as if there, God is all dead
Creating heaven in systematic solar system galaxies with illusion of History, spinnin’ record
45 or 33 1/3 or maybe a 78 RPM record disc, pre-mag tape & Compact Discs I can’t afford.
Fabulous that you see nothing clearly because nothing is the absence of the thing itself
No shape or form or content, an empty ghost essence put way down on the back shelf
Wars and the Peace between them are all Man’s doing, wanting to dominate all too weak
Because you can, because I did, we’ve come many times to no avail, conceive the bleak.
Sooner or later it will pass into the past and become the present for a moment of futures
Hipsters without the punchlines of the bad jokes, still got gleeful chuckles for the vultures
Art for Art’s sake, a vestige of the good, the bad & the oh so ugly, it’s the tidal wave I’m all in
As above, so below, you know it, I know it, y’all know it, Material, Matter & Manhattan flyin’.
Song sung without knowing the lyrics, just lip-synching for the jibber-jabber fun of it all too
There never would have been an end to the beginning if it had never Big Banged out to fool
You, me & everyone who has ever pondered the nature of Being and Nothingness, as I am
So you are & everybody will always be, enigmatic stardust & a hopeless dream, God Am!
Season of Four expressions of Earth’s distance from the sunk & it’s angle of a dangle orbit
Summer, Fall, Winter & Spring ad infinitum, sun’s heat direct or a near miss, this is all of it
Time the spin rotation & orbital duration, 365 times give or take a leap year, a immortal sin
You can do this, you all have no choice, just hold your breath and jump back to attention.
Perhaps you know & maybe, just maybe you’re oblivious to your own mortality window
So, like it or not, this is all there is from what I can glean from an historical record flow
Fog clears up and everything can be seen in its virgin splendor, post Big Bang ego bone
High or low, it’s all going to go up in smoke, blue or black & then it’ll dissipate, be alone.
I wonder why happiness is fleeting. It either is impossible or it’s hard to get like a girl
One you’ve got the passion for whether it’s mutual feeling or not, that’s not germane
It is what it is & that’s the way it’s always going to be, like it or not, facts are the facts
Filling the tank full of high-octane fuel will save time and money, infinite power FAX.
Bring you’re a-game because you’re going to get smashed into oblivion like a speck
Of dust we came from & will return to, that’s speculative theory, no proof of a Shrek
Harmony and happiness have a share for all, it’s up to the One who powers it all too
In your head, in your bones, Truth resides, it came & it’s gonna leave, I am code blue.
