Road
part one
foolish man strolling down the road of live
traveling alone is he or so he thinks
companions–he neither understands or sees
apart as special he sets said jester
think he himself above surrounding serfs
mais, they be special men and women
amusement and companion all in the court of God
and too traveling the yellow brick road
among they not a few that share his worried fears
special he not because he thinks apart
but because as everyman he walks his step alone
i be man and you so too
or woman if of persuasion be
for all we hold is common view
and in that mind, the key my tea
that we alone have got it right and others are in err
so each special be because we each add spice amazing, human stew
part two
relationships the second part man hides behind his mask
unfeeling show he hard, not strong though oft confused
he cannot, will not cry and distance place he from they
this wrong and self destructive spiral built the gap between
the gulf language feeling birthed death from fall
man seeks wife and therein situation foul trouble breathes
he loves her loves someone else–revelation, they know not love
for love uncomprehended is without example shown
and precious few there is we have in the land of where
have we the right of pursuit to happiness, not be
part three
man seeks God and misunderstands that he is lost not God
i tell you truth, God seeks man and only standing still goes home
order reverse, stated three truths these
for only God and fellow can in man hope to find himself
pursuit of God and union, bring good even make happy,
but man has failed to comprehend their inequality and progress
so illustrates this passage life, therein the parts we backward find the way
for topsy turvy, tin cups first is this merry ride.
life breaths life and we are dead if self discovery’s birthed
for always most important lost is found the last place looked.
