perhaps i'm trying to save
to save me from myself
but this is not acceptance
this is something else
this is not a dream come true
this not a stitch in time
this is simply just what it is
and it is just a simple rhyme
this was never about
what is fair versus what is right
it’s all about the wallet now
and why the belts so tight
this was simply supposed to be
another tuneless dirge of mine
so let's pretend not to slip on the rug
let’s pretend everything’s just fine
this was never a proclamation
an inhalation
before
a long and drawn out explanation
a diatribe in wrong or write
this was neither a weary hint
to insinuate left or right
this was never about whatever
blah blah, blah blah and blah
...who ya might have to fight
this was never a free ride
or a solution
to absolve you of your deeds and sins
this is not an unpowered glide
to save your scurrilous hide
to show you a real and serious side
to reflect and eject all of your snide
this is real is surreal
and is supposed to reflect
all we see all we know
and all we want
this is the well of eternal needs
and we will need
an eternity
