#49 - alive, awake, aware

49

alive awake aware

I don’t deny reality

I simply won’t obey

I have my own here  

counsel too

in a certain light you’ll see

things are on their way

they’d like to keep me in a cage

and under lock and key

in up of branch and leaf flown

I don’t deny it

I see it and say  

duty tells me

you can’t rely on rhythm  

the question must be asked of course

am I of any use?

I don’t resent the taxes

I like a road to drive

now you see me

snuck off with rhyme

I have a little argument  

a sun shines

I’m lit          

when on the juice

then here’s my cloud to watch

for productivity

will it reach the quota?

can I climb the graph?

they want it to be money

everything is worth

take your number

wait your turn

that was time on Earth        

I don’t deny reality

I like to it raw

with sources for courses

and a fine old red

and when I’ve finished

more!

and then I like to get away

with rocket ship and everything

with crimes that never pay

I don’t malign reality

but it could be improved

I always wake to the machine

in nakedness

and so, obscene

or else, to suit my mood

it helps when there is no invasion

and when no bombs fall

nevertheless the bastards are after me

with what they call reality

they’ll never catch me all alive

I blow the self a little kiss

though frequently, it’s true, I miss

a mind is quite the hive

I won’t deny reality  

I simply like my own

plastic gets into my dreams still

ambitions there are overblown

all day of it the roses tell

and somewhere lost in flight

the traveller comes from darkness

stories bring to light

I don’t deny reality

it’s just that I don’t care

to sit another test

I must have missed the boat

some-when or who-knows-where

and in my cave growl to self

or on my back, a little float

brittle with the tune

and blessed –

alive, awake, aware
