Awakened by mystical animal
High in sky islands
Dripping with the wisdom of beyond
Told me “there are so much things to say right now,
So much things to say,”
Wants to carry me aboard and float away.
From up here, Gaia never looked so peaceful
Cry til my eyes melt.
Never thought i’d see her quite this way.
Six-eyed beast muttered “brace yourself,
I’ma show you the fabric you couldn’t exist without,
bring you to the edge and back again.”
The farther we go,
The less i seem to know
All these opinions
Lost their irridescent glow
What is identity,
Within this endless void?
My “self” has been destroyed...
As we leave our galaxy behind,
With a haste so quick
we nearly caught the light
Wonder if i’ll ever return home.
‘cause no human has ever felt this alone.
Tears fall without control,
All that I now see
So unbelievable
I try to dig a hole within me
Dwell inside serenity rhythmical
Wise one of six eyes
came to embrace me,
And then i realized...
All this imagery that faces me
Is what allows me to be alive.
“dry your tears,
don’t you worry child
everything will be all right,
while i’m by your side.
gotta keep in mind
that all of this is part of you,
and everything that is
must fly towards the truth.
let go of all the questions,
and the disbelief
cuz if you overanalyze,
all you will get is grief.
I need a human being
To see what i have seen,
That which has enriched
My civilization completely.
Come now,
The answers wait
For those who care to look
But when dem a gon find it
When most don’t even read no books?
Got the people hooked
On violence and MTV
human-made diseases leave them
Shallow and empty, see.”
(blooood, fireeeee!)
we reach the end
of this journey,
as the pages keep on turning
i’m burning inside,
wanting to run and hide
but six-eyes won’t let me
run away this time
travelled too long to arrive
right outta sight,
badass creatures
that defied the hive
and now i see that this universe
is just another being
looks like nothing i’ve ever seen,
but i know the feeling
just as confused and alone
as anything
revealed the truth,
broke the ceiling.
The universe is you, dreaming.
Author notes
a few things:
1. please don't tell me "it's so MANY things to say right now", because by saying "so much" i'm referring to the words of Bob Marley. you can talk to him about the grammar issue if you have a problem with it.
2. if you're wondering about "dem a gon", its jamaican english for "they are going to". the reason it's written like this is because these are lyrics to a song, and in that part i sing it reggae stylee.
3. if you like the words and want to hear the track, it is now available at this address:
www.myspace.com/dolomzero
there are other tracks there too, give 'em a listen if you like chill, mystical electronic music.
4. please dont tell me the lyrics are "too long" if you aren't gonna bother listening to the song. it doesnt make any sense to say that when you could just click the link i just provided you and see for yourself if the lyrics fit.
thanks, peace

AMAZING PIECE MUCH LOVE!!!

I enjoyed this and will check out the other site link also. Bob Marley did alot to influence today's music. "Thank you" for entering the contest! Definitely up to the challenge
I'd also like to "Thank you" for all of the information in your author's comments. I understand the frustration when I've wrote for contests myself, some people will not understand the style but you are going within the guidelines of the contest.
All the best to you.

Oh okay. How nice that Bob Marley is your inspiration. The poem does his memory justice. But if these are lyrics, aren't they a bit long? Oh well, just a thought.
