Strange Days

Strange days have found us in gloom,

Strange days now all else subsume;

Though we won’t get away,

We run from the day

Into a strange night of doom.

==

Ball And Chain

Sitting here watching the rain,

I stare from this runaway train:

Doom came to be,

Grabbed a hold of me,

And it felt like a ball and chain.

==

Twelve Thirty

Underneath irrelevant squawking,

Doom from deep canyons comes stalking;

I can’t keep my eyes closed

To how badly we’re hosed,

And I can’t keep myself from talking.

==

Summertime

One of these mornings, we’ll fly:

Spread our wings, and take to the sky;

No more suffering harm

After buying the farm

And saying to people “Goodbye.”

==

The Great Mandala

Act your role on the great wheel of strife

With a combo of sweet smile and knife;

You don’t get to choose

If you win or you lose:

If you lose, tough shit, that’s your life.
