utopian visions of a dream world
|
quickly fade into dust
|
you finally seize the golden prize
|
and see it's really rust
|
obstacles are overcome but followed by another test
|
finally settling in the sun still get wracked by stress
|
happiness brings on psychic pain
|
for the darkness surely follows
|
the sun inevitably sets for each rise on the morrow
|
|
your reality of existence you can't escape
|
an absurd meaninglesness
|
yet you think you reason your inner world
|
can't explain why with it you're blessed
|
got no way to say who's right or wrong
|
takes thirtysomething states to ratify constitution
|
hitler pursued his destiny
|
with approval of public opinion
|
cut away fron God it is the human condition
|
|
no happy endings for the rich
|
see them languish and die alone
|
the poor die their absurd deaths
|
drugs or aids or starvation
|
conformed to the choice conformed to the fall
|
sweet breath of Revelation taken as a tale too tall
|
saving bitterest tears
|
for when the Truth hits their eyes
|
will God also cry knowing they won't be dried?
