Wearing The Mask
Wearing The Mask
Calling all boosters, cheer on the long marchers, the invisible cliff looms high overhead
Evolving all the way, throwing out everything that weighs a body down, mobility is key
Originally part of the invisible pyramid, functional, helpful, nourishing the entire world
Previous exposures now no defense against future engagements, doors left wide open
This is just one piece of the juttingly higher hierachy that we swim through everyday
Symptomless, painless, a walk in the park, five percent long termed after every wave
Life in the dirt walks like we walk in our airs, or swim like the fishes, home in the water
The goal is simple, slow down the human race, mission accomplished all too easily
This cliff has been building from an internal volcano of never ending life, as is all life
Everything we do is based on random happenings, reduces the cost of being prepared
The cliff is flat, yet it extends way below our feet, digging deeper and deeper every day
Remains constant as the oceans, the tides rise and fall as all clockwork motions do
Never goes away, recedes from consciousness, thriving on abandonment, always returns
That cliff doesn't stretch to infinity, every day the drop off is only a few steps away
Reds, blues, arguing face to face, symbolically marching arm in arm, falling down together
