Are we scared because we're vulnerable
Or vulnerable because we're scared?
Through the mandate to keep our coffers full
By hoarding resources meant to be shared.
When the law gets its hands on something raw,
The iron grips smothers to a char
As sacrificial fodder for the next frontier war
With a mandate to keep medicine behind closed doors
And draw our healers away from forest floors.
From given by nature to patented in stores
Opposites deposit a composite
That exposits how the faucet of creation
Breeds our salvation,
Generation to regeneration.
Passed on entropic initiations
Like coy doctors inoculating patients.
You exhaust me as much as you defrost me
With the warm of a new season's lightning storm
From meek and mild to blazing forlorn
Swallow my pride and bugle your horn.
A lone loon calls in the middle of the night
For reasons we investigate only after dawn's light.
Rituals remind us to remember
The hottest sun in cold December,
How blinding fires grow from dim embers.
Feelings are steam,
Words condensation,
And acts solidification.
From fantasy to reality, the original dream team.
You can do anything you set your mind to
Once you change the definition of you.
The people who really care always become weary
By critiques from those who care only in theory.
