Love] I see a slow, simple youngster by a busy With a begging in his shaking hand. Trying to smile but hurting Nobody notices. I do, but by. An old man gets naked kisses a model-doll in his attic It's half-light he's in tears. When he finally comes his eyes are I see a beaten dog in a pungent alley. He tries bite me. All pride left his wild eyes. I I had my leg to spare. A mother visits her son, smiles to him the bars. never loved him more. An girl enters an elevator with me. All dressed up fancy, a green butterfly on neck. Terribly sweeet deafens me. She's to dinner alone. That makes even more beautiful. I see a model's face a brick wall. A statue of porcelain perfection beside violent city kill. A that worships flesh. The 1st thing ever heard was a wandering Man telling story It was the grass under my bare feet The in the dead of night The heavenly black of sky and It us Roaming the rainy roads, combing guilded beaches Waking to a new gallery of wonders every morn Bathing places no-one's seen before on some matt-painted island Clad in nothing but the surf - finest robe Beyond all mortality we are, swinging the breath of nature In early air of the dawn life sight to silence the heavens want to travel where life travels, Following permanent lead Where the air tastes snow music grass smells like fresh-born Eden I would pass no man, stranger, no tragedy or rapture I bathe in a world of sensation Love, goodness simplicity (While and imprisoned by technology) The thought of family's graves was the only moment I used to experience true That love infintie, I'll never be the man my father is How you "just be yourself" When you know who you are? Stop "I know how you feel" How could anyone know how another Who am I to judge priest, beggar, Whore, wrongdoer?

I've never been so close to truth then I it's silver lining Death is the winner in war Nothing noble in dying for religion For country For for faith For man, yes Paper dead without words Ink without a poem All the world dead stories Without love and beauty Careless realism souls Ever the Lord smile? Allt he care for the world made Beautiful a sad Why do we still carry a device torture around our necks? Oh, how rotten pre-apocalypse is All you bible-black fools living over ground see all those empty cradles and wonder If man never change I, too, wish be a decent manboy but all I am smoke and mirrors Still everything, may I be deserving And forever remains the change from G to E minor
