When the world is crashing down
and it’s a sin to smile
and all the people are hysterical
with chemicals shooting through their brains
like love, like hate, like fear, like loneliness
and you have been wondering why you read philosophy
Suddenly, the dawn breaks…
You eat hope like dessert
with a big cherry on top
Your pleasure is circulating
it’s yours
and it won’t be donated to the blood bank
it’s life force
sending feel-good thoughts to your brain
power in the stream
your current keeps circulating
like electricity
How you think
changes things.
Lifting weights
in the dark
I transform…
those holding onto power
can’t get enough
they are powerless inside
the function of what we need
is a function of what we don’t have
if you possess power
magnetism manifests
attraction is not possession
doors will open
the world is outside
and it wants to come in
it wants to feel good
but when the world wants something
it doesn’t have it
getting it, is not the way to get it
Have you ever gotten something when you didn’t try?
this is the secret
smoke
sickness
sadness
or a smile
if you smile and mean it
you can be happy.
