After its own heart…
Step away from the bar of life and see the full menu
Exit the darkness of lifestyles swamped with things and see the light bright world outside
Dark desires breed in the shadows of dimly lit rooms
Pain of sunshine, closed eyes against the rays of exposure
There is no hiding the persistence of lust
The indebtedness of society with their driven longings for all things possess-able invades your consciousness like an ill-tuned song
You can hear the beat but you can’t dance to it in the light of day
Outside the drumming and thumping present an annoyance that needs to be drowned out with goodness
The rancid rancor of the world leaves that metallic bitter taste in the back of your throat
Try as you might, you can not drown out the ugliness of it all
You long for a sweet cool drink from the water well of heaven
I cannot remember where it is
I just know it is out there some where for me to find
I do not know if I’ve had it before, but I can still remember the taste
The savory smooth sweetness of good things
Why do we long for things that pass away under the glare of truth
Why do we see only the lies that are colored so prettily with false rainbows
The promises that have no follow through
The half-answered wishes of the world
The dark bar and seedy life draws people in like droves of cattle longing for a lick at the salt
No one sees the beauty in the simple life
Days gone by and long-forgotten are the fairy tales for bed time stories
Memories are tainted with broken hearts and sour grapes
Take away the driving bumping hard core jumping of bad music
Sing for me the sweet melodies of violins and harmonies of my forefathers
The romance of lace is not lost or forgotten but buried under sheets of bad music
Remember me as one of these
The patrons of the past and lovers of the lore
Do not forget the love of others that came before
Remember them well
Strive to live your life patterned after the success of simplicity
The single staccato of one drum that beats after its own heart…
