no....surreal...all de-folk-cussed....
like a minor plague of locusts....
seeming 'insight'......(must be kidding)
vein-glory-ossity......forbidding
light to enter.....pierce the darkness....
(dancing on the brink of snarkness)
merry, merry....not this chase.....
no-one ever wins the race
to nowhere....
.....where no love's in place
and
fear masks every smiling face....
jab'n'grab'n'take a poke......
won't someone....PLEASE....
laugh....crack a joke......? ? ! !
'grim' realities face us all....
ev'ry creature, great and small...
never-ending dues to pay.....
each, another's trembling prey.....
hackles raised, claws are bared...
running, bloodied.....running, scared.....
(senses clouded......hiding, shrouded....)
a sadly bitter waste of time....
there're songs to sing
and trees to climb....
treasures to unearth....
and wonder.....
beauty, gifts.....un-torn asunder......
we're here, some say, for just a minnit....
might as well put some lovin' innit........! !
delilah contrapunctal.... yes, that's how I intended to spell it.........
