Out
Right out
Do your duty to all
The vast array of something else
Is for you to explore

Find
To find
What you think they will like
Abandon all your lofty dreams
And just play on the psych

Act
For act
Win awards for your deeds
The last of things to be today
Is yourself in the breeze

Be
Just be
Who it is you produced
You might just want to show your face
Please do not be seduced

Live
And live
A solid base of past
You may want to shake up the lies
Yet you will fall too fast

Fly
High fly
And be all you can be
Take down the pills of ecstasy
For everyone to see

Show
Real show
Has even you convinced
You are who you will always be
And you need not revince

Here
Us here
We all have you to thank
Since you became an image slave
We can go to the bank

Harrowingly beautiful is the green distance
After the misty breaking ocean waves
Amidst a setting sun to the west
And looking south abreast
And sitting with a glow
Warm with a breeze slow
Freeze this place in time
I could forever unwind
I cannot but call this a good life
The Media Religion calls it all strife

There
Did you see?
There, again
That figurine
Oh, but a slick cat lay near
Darkness tints the twilight curtain
And a strange noise faint as its breath
Cometh and go with ominous ease
Pounding
There!
Again, did you see?
It is black as though night were day
It sped through this scene
Taking no time, but it all
This figurine is subtle
This figurine is everywhere
Is it at my leg?
I hear it!
Do you see?
A multitude of senses for a flash
Diamond rays as blackness lingers
Faster and faster
I am imagining now
Oh, this night just grew darker
Are you there?
I can’t see
Hey!
Now I am alone too
