Long ago in a dusty village, full of hunger, pain and strife, a man came forth with a vision of truth, and the way to a better life, he was convinced he had the answer, and he compelled people to follow along, but the hunger never vanished, and the man was banished, and the village dried up and died,
at a time when wise men peered, through brass tubes toward the sky, the heavens changed in predictable ways, and one man was able to find, that he had thought he found the answer, and he was quick to write his revelation, but as they were scrutinized in his colleagues eyes, he soon became a mockery,
don't tell me about the answer, 'cause then another one will come along soon, I don't believe you have the answer, I've got ideas too, but if you've got enough naivite, and you've got conviction, then the answer is perfect for you
an urban sprawl sits choking on its discharge, overwhelmed by industry, searching for a modern day, savior from another place, inclined toward charity, everyone's begging for an answer, without regard validity, the searching never ends, it goes on and on and on for eternity
You've got to quit your little charade and join the freak parade Now that your road has been paved from conception to your grave. Enormous things to do, others' practices to eschew, To be better than you is impossible to do, But the world won't stop without you. Your achievements are unsurpassed, you are highly-ordered mass, But you can bet your ass your free energy will dissipate. Two billion years thus far, now mister here you are, An element in a sea of enthalpic organic compounds. The world won't stop without you. You're only as elegant as your actions let you be A piece of chaos related phylogenetically To every living organ system, we're siblings, don't you see? The earth rotates and will revolve without you constantly. Two billion years thus far, now mister here you are, An element in a sea of enthalpic organic compounds. The world won't stop without you. No, the world won't stop without you. I said the world won't stop without you!
...We are nothing but whiners if we are not willing to put our concerns and convictions on the line with a willingness to honestly listen and learn something beyond our own assumptions.
<lol> I enjoyed reading the Gaffin poem, although I hate to admit it was sorta like watching Dennis Miller...I only get about a quarter of what he says. I know when to laugh when others do!
Enthalpic...Philogen...err...phylojene...err....Crap!! Where's a dictionary when ya' need it!!
