Darkness and Light

I’ll spare you the details, of the thoughts in my mind
The answers I question, often seem to unwind
As I seek for meaning, in the cracks and the lines
in what we’re presented, as we travel through time

My vision strains to see quite right
As I navigate through darkness and light

Silhouettes of fulfillment, keep me trudging along
Through tunnels of despair, oh how do I stay strong

My vision strains to see quite right
As I navigate through darkness and light

The road is lined with guides and signs,
to lead us on our way
Ya fate is great, but what about today

Release attachments to outcomes we’ve drawn
The schemas we’re tied to turn us into pawns
Binary and bio, It’s off or it’s on
Duality is our causal liaison

My vision strains to see quite right
As I navigate through darkness and light

Authenticity

In the beginning our worldview is new
Awaiting what's in queue
Upon contact connections accrue
sketches of belief ensue

Validity is transformed by what we see
through fractured objectivity
The credibility of what we know
strains for authenticity

Often is heard 'I know what you mean'
determined with sight unseen
of my life through my eyes
on my holographic screen
so diverging views come be tween

Conjecture leads from what I see
to needless incivility
The credibility of what we know
strains for authenticity

The credibility of what we know
strains for authenticity

Pattern

I lie in wonder how we`ve survived to make it this far
Spawning our species through the ages as we spin around our star

Our brains are trained to avoid pain and seek pleasure
As we progress we devise a standard adapting it to our pattern

Reaching the outcome that we desire teeters on a wire
Engulfed in madness as we perspire staring at the fire

Our brains are trained to avoid pain and seek pleasure
As we progress we devise a standard adapting it to our pattern

Down to our cells we have to learn how to discern
Structure emerging from the random forming like crystals in a cavern

Our brains are trained to avoid pain and seek pleasure
As we progress we devise a standard adapting it to our pattern

Moments

When I was a young man absorbing this world
A fork emerged in the road
What I thought I knew did not ring true
My faith was distorting my view

The story I’d heard seemed simple and absurd
I pondered how far it could go
And as the wind blows thoughts arose
The questions started to flow

Could it be that one man died
For everybody’s sins
Or we all are ruled by aliens

And they have our souls trapped on earth
To keep us as their slaves
Or is it that consciousness just ends

It could be more complex than
We can ever fantasize
Or life comes from one source

But you know every time we think that
We have it all figured out,
We find we were wrong from square one

I’ve found one universal truth is that
Between every thought
Are infinite possibilities

In each instant you decide
The way that life proceeds
So you can create or destroy

If you want to capitalize on this experience
Observe what is happening right now

Cause the only moment that exists
Just slipped into the past
So don’t just let another pass you by

Listen

The Earth is fine it’s been there a long time
Now experts claim we are crossing a line
Between our lives and all of future kind
The precise cause they strain to define
There are the chemicals, clean water & CO2
But see how far we’ve come through
scientific breakthroughs
We live today like the kings & queens of past
Yet most complain until they draw their last breath

Now won't you come and listen to me
I'll show you things that you never have seen
I talk of ignorance, I talk of greed
Hear my words if you hunger to be free

This begs a question that you should ask
What is the trustworthy view
through the looking glass
Cause all events can be seen from different sides
The ones in power decide how they guide
Factions are trying to control your thoughts
By planting concepts in a clean & tidy box
So you should always look between the f’ing lines
The absolute truth is hidden by design

Now won't you come and listen to me
I'll show you things that you never have seen
I talk of ignorance, I talk of greed
Hear my words if you hunger to be free

Volumes have been inspired in our past
That offer insight on how to be our best
Yet we choose to fight among each other
Instead of learning how to create a bright future
Love is key, and striving to be
A positive part of our society
Change is a constant no matter the time of year
But higher things are at work so have no fear

Now won't you come and listen to me
I'll show you things that you never have seen
I talk of ignorance, I talk of greed
Hear my words if you hunger to be free

Freedom Is...

Freedom is Freedom is Freedom is oh ya
Freedom is undefined
No one can tell you what it means
because it's a state of mind

Rivers flow to and fro forces nudge the waters
so they go where they're told
choices are there the waters are free but controlled.

Freedom is Freedom is Freedom is oh ya
Freedom is undefined
No one can tell you what it means
because it's a state of mind

When we are little ones We have questions about
how things are done. Is there a rule of thumb?
On how to find happiness and love with freedom

Freedom is Freedom is Freedom is oh ya
Freedom is undefined
No one can tell you what it means
because it's a state of mind
