By Andrew Besbekos
In the car we drive
We go to one place then the next
Over and over
Day by day we move
Feeling like “the flash” on wheels
Making time less known
For within the speed
We forget the life we lead
We shut ourselves in
Do we remember
The smell of natures ember
Before burnt metal
Liquify our earth
Rectify the truth of birth
Metal replace flesh
Materialists
I rest my case us realists
Creator fiction
Thereby shadow win
Din din our meal is ready
Under flame and smoke
Do we remember
The feeling of crisp water
As we quenched our thirst
Aqua De Vida
Our blood thirsts for water
Water is our blood
Yet we thirst poison
Rotten drink of our defeat
Lessens the true sense
Tree that gives us breath
Yet death to nature by bill
Dollar reaks of ill
Death by Currency
Heresy of our making
Industrial hell
Profit yet needed
Money by material
Honey laced with rot
Money is not wealth
Money is measure of wealth
Assure you to breathe
Real wealth is our mind
Yet bind by commerce of lie
For we are spoiled
Elitists we are
Realists replace ideals
Because we have lost
We have forgotten
Internal beats external
Mind heart and our soul
Mind is the great Terra
Mind brought and wheel
Fire is alive
Fire is the breath
Like us in and out so on
Running running on
Internal is us
External is the water
Yin and Yang spin
What shall we do then
Let it be Let it all shift true
For nature is time
Order and chaos
They appear separate but not
Thy will command
Our climb to the peak
We see the valley ahead
Treacherous yet calm
So yet I say on
Be the nothingness within
The truth that you are
