Take Your Mind

"Me be Pop now!"

By BrenPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

take your mind off your moments a while

here… slip into one of mine and relax

yeah i'm sure we've all got plenty of time

but are you sure you want to talk about that

it’s for lack of real tales from old trodden trails

that we starve for adventure these days

you don’t wanna know

you don't wanna know for real

cause you've been living in and with the fake

and i know you don't really want to know

you gotta need, gotta want, gotta take

what it is i’m bringing, to this right here and now

i could bring the wroth i could bring the wrath

undesirable centuries of acute grueling pain

or vain fleeting seconds of mirth and simple laugh

the only thing i cannot bring is time

not yours and not mine

and it is just blowing in the dust

as it will and as it must

controlled by an anomalous hype but nonetheless

i shall bring an undervalued corny exodus

then a glimmer of hope and a vacant care

i will bring this straight for everybody

i bring it after the sun has faded for the day

and then on this generic thrice cursed night

i will slowly slip away from the lightless in me

i let it all simply glide away into the mélange

of the realities that are of, in and near to me dear to me

i will slowly enter a broken eternal endless night

i will sate all hungers of the soul, the body and the mind

i will quell the chaos born of a thousand hungry storms

i will bring the peace that shares but a single word

the stuff of the stars it binds us so as to remind us

our past we will remain for valuable lessons and not repeating

but it will help shape every single reality we share

our future will be shaped by actions and thoughts

ours fears once blunted become a done and no longer a dare
