Strands of Time

years hence
the dogs of war
will reach their shore
assail no more

tears thence
will greatly flow
before they slow
the weight to know

we could have greatly soared

here in our time
we have bumbled blind
neath the castles high
in the sands of time

rip tide
is rising high
the end is nigh
you wonder why

hips tied
interlocked eyes
release our sighs
and then we'll rise

we bear spirit, our sword

all in good time
we will make the climb
to reign of rhyme
cross the lands of time

link hands
find a way
to allay
judgement day

think bands
bust the haze
beat the maze
to brighter days

good life may be restored

being out of time
is just frames of mind
let our forces bind
play the strands of time

all in good time
we will make the climb
to reign of rhyme
cross the lands of time

here in our time
we can skim the grime
freshly make it shine
on the sands of time

Let's Get Analog

I hope this doesn't come off as ableist. I realize that contemporary techology is, in fact, essential to many. Still, I wonder what it's like on the other side of the screen...

****

when there's a will there's a way
when there's a way there's an expectation
that ain't great today
you gotta meet it or face damnation
who wants to live at this breakneck pace
i'd rather keep my neck intact
so take me out of this high tech place
and its absurd social contract

let's get analog
and see if we still get along
i don't think it could go too wrong
living life in analog

here you gotta have a car
and the ability to drive and afford it
a phone from which you're never far
and don't you dare turn it off or ignore it
you gotta do everything right now
and every waking moment hence
your health and spirit just fly right out
is it worth the expense?
(i say dispense with it)

let's get analog
and see how well we get along
i feel like we could do no wrong
living life in analog

let me know if you really want to
you know i'd love to get analog with you :+)

now they're threatening to unleash
supercomputers of a kind called quantum
though digital's overreached
so let me tell you now, i don't want 'em!
the road to hell's paved with good intentions
just watch these things go sour real fast
from accidents or police apprehensions
utopic visions don't last

{let's get analog
and see how well we get along
i feel like we could do no wrong
keeping it real in analog}(x2)
