Rain and Thunder
You’ve got to think fast now,
Make it through this moment,
Make it past,
Anyhow, anyway you can,
To come out smelling like a rose,
Not holding one, man!
Left with shame It seems so lame,
That this awkward pain,
Is what’s reminding me,
That I’m still alive.
And if that’s what it takes,
Then that’s what,
Is going to help you survive.
Never mind the jook and jive,
That’s just a matter so contrived.
The real matter is -
Being completely lost at best,
Keeping steady,
The beating in your chest.
Even though you’re tired, twisted,
Tried and convicted,
With all the rest.
Surely I jest,
Is it really that bad?
Why on this beautiful earth,
Is my song so sad?
So lacking in mirth,
Uncovered by birth,
Now six feet more,
Or less under.
Because of rain and thunder.
It pounds in me,
Grounds me asunder,
Yet I’m never really dead,
Buried alive,
And seeing red,
Surely to survive.
Down this road I’ve been led.
Because my confusion lies,
And always will,
When I stepped up,
When I stepped out,
When I lifted my tiny voice,
And yelled “I want out!”
Well here I am still.
I kid you not,
I’ve done these very things!
I’ve talked and yelled,
Squawked and spelled.
And nothing seems to make the sting,
Where’s the reality bring,
Itself into play and sing?
Oneness and tenderness,
Blinded, just me?
Or blindsided by being too free?
What the heck am I thinking?
And I haven’t even been drinking,
Yet I feel myself sinking,
Into this rat finking world.
Twirl, spin,
Spun with a grin,
Even having some fun,
At my own expense.
Riding the fence.
Of jest,
And just as intense,
Oh light some incense,
‘cause here I go down again,
My precious friend.
