Karma Drama
Through chaos
Our dross affairs mean pain and prayer
Straining to remain quite sane, vain spit and spite
Fighting to achieve, weaving perception, mixing self-deception
Fixing what's not broken
Thoughts half broken creep down frowning streets
Greet this peeping town wrapped tight in sheets of shard
Slapped on hard illusions, crude conclusions
Rude allusions to the obvious while oblivious
Each precious time, of reaching some success
Preaching pressure, bitterness repressed
Oh roaming rhyme foam obsessed, express that crime sublime
The mess of existential complication, cruel creations tragedy.
FORTUNE COME, FAVOUR GO - Let the Karma Drama play
FATE WAIT DUMB AS TOMORROW - But let Love live today
FREEDOM FUMBLE TO FOLLOW SWIFT SWEET SLIPPERY SLICK DESIRE - The only way
FAITH STILL STUMBLE THROUGH FIRE - And let the heard word say.
By chance, the dance of consequence
Commenced such mutual excellence
Brought hence perpetual possibilities
Old actualities that meet again
Beat the clock
Rock right reason, shock the season
Mock the universe, it's odd
God knows things could turn worse so should learn better than upset the course
The force of metamorphosis
And miss the bliss that passes understanding
Stop pandering to egotistical, logistically sanctified doubt
Until the will fulfills, brings about new motion, true devotion
Sings the sacred song to make life long
Wakes the key to holy ecstasy.
FORTUNE RISE, FAVOUR FALL - Let the one sure law burn bold
FATE WAIT WISE HIDE JUST YONDER WONDER WALL - But let Love break the mold
FREEDOM FLY SLY TO CALL FROM EVERY OPPOSITE EXTREME - The world we hold
FAITH REALISE THEN REDEEM - And let the truth be told.
FORTUNE COME, FAVOUR GO - Let the Karma Drama play
FATE WAIT DUMB AS TOMORROW - But let Love live today
FREEDOM FUMBLE TO FOLLOW SWIFT SWEET SLIPPERY SLICK DESIRE - The only way
FAITH STILL STUMBLE THROUGH FIRE - And let the heard word say.
FORTUNE RISE, FAVOUR FALL - Let the one sure law burn bold
FATE WAIT WISE HIDE JUST YONDER WONDER WALL - But let Love break the mold
FREEDOM FLY SLY TO CALL FROM EVERY OPPOSITE EXTREME - The world we hold
FAITH REALISE THEN REDEEM - And let the truth be told.
