Flash and it's Different
It can all change in a flash
Flash and it’s different
Something’s gone wrong
Someone’s gone or a city falls
A change in the weather and the
Outdoor party’s over
Move it inside,
Dig out from the rubble,
Say hey, say goodbye,
Make all the arrangements,
But get over it `cause
Flash and it’s different
Disbelieve, deny,
Cry, ask why,
Regret and accept
Get stuck and your shit out of luck
A cold front takes holiday there in the tropics
A tiny lump or who knew that damn thing was loaded
Mom just turned her back for a second,
And how can that be, he only slept with her once
In lightening and thunder,
Get under the covers like lovers
Embrace the horror
Then wake up tomorrow
With a fresh perspective,
With corrective lenses
See it differently `cause
Flash and it's different
A slick road, flash!
Shifting plates and earthquakes, flash!
Cheap lights and a dry tree, flash!
Two jets and two towers, flash!
“I don’t see how one could hurt”, flash!
Let's give the business man a shot, flash!
One flash, and it's all different...
About the Creator
Phillip LoFaso
Lover of most types of music from Bob Marley to Beethoven. I write songs, poetry, short stories. I love to play guitar, and recently started painting and drawing again. Self expression can be very cathartic, as is playing music with others.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
