up until 2

up until two they all said
and now he is the only one
with eyes wide open and not worried
but a slight bit concerned
that he might fall asleep
forgetting something important
up until one thought someone
would at least be here now
but everyone is tired
the wine did go great with the company
might as well been hand selected
perfect mix
up until twelve
thought for sure
the trees would still be rolling
but quietly instead
everyone files to bed
by this time
and he is left up
until two alone...

vigil

he will keep the vigil
if he has to every night
it became illuminated
again when the guru
stepped back into the scene
solid footsteps on shaky ground
below might give way
under too much weight
it will change everything
like the weather in New England...

until they are all tired

proceeding making plans

to overcome the obstacles

a stagnating mind

puts in his way

back machine turned ahead

in time never late

but he’ll wait

until they are all tired

of their schedules

the rat race they run

into the ground seems

like everyone is digging

or killing for oil

isn’t going to keep the hungry belly full

more money for millionaires

‘who wants to be one’

they mock us all on

tell lie vision operation mind warp

spin of the day

distracting from the diabolical deeds

devastated and the popular ignorance

is obviously the plan

put in action before he picked up the pen

like an axe to chop through doors

closed to the people proceeding

making plans to make the best

out of life is our choice how it is lived

up to him what he writes

as the stagnating mind has kicked it

into rapid white waters

cooling the day’s heat

burning new ideas

with old hands…

it's amazing unquestioned

it's amazing how events

shape the days ahead

even when the reason seems

flawed facts flashed

in news bites

giving all what

they deem important

but leaving out the more disturbing

facts public outcry for

true justice seems to always

get smothered somehow

it's amazing the ignorance

is bliss meter rises to the top

everyone keeps on

like nothing matters

no one is trying hard enough

to find news from other available

means to escape the propaganda

machine spinning what we all need

to hear next following directions

out of fear and it amazes me that

so many believe all the hype

put the facts together on your own

make up your own mind

everyone is given the choice

follow the herds

or blaze your own trail

it's amazing all these voices

can be silenced

and this silencing can go

unnoticed...
