Lepsog Eht (Part II)

Why does nobody else hear what I’m hearing?
Not for lack of ears,
we are overwhelmed
by the shrieking cries
and the underground yells
of souls we buried
when we told ourselves
“I am settling.”

Do you people support what I see?
The hate that humans misguidedly bring?
If not then please, join me and sing.

Don’t be afraid
of the judging eyes
who judge every cell
in every body of every man
without
looking
in
themselves.

And if these words strike like a bell
then let every tale
from your lips
be for freedom as well…

…from all the
hypocrites in sheep’s clothes – if what they hide underneath
are the answers, then why do they make me feel weak?
And those with such pride in the music they make
cower if eyes see and ears hear what’s fake
because the essence of life is too much to contain
in a standard refrain
unless it’s called as mistake
lest our souls
just
might
break.

So take
your time
and line
of thought.

And if you’re confused,
you’re cap-
tain of
it all.

We’re all confused and blinded and sing
to any dumb tune just to drown the ringing
in our heads from our souls buried way underneath
either TV or friends or existentially
questioning every thing that we see.

But what we get lost in is that which we seek,
it’s not that we miss the forest for trees,
as if eyes bigger and better would see,
no we just haven’t been told that this struggle indeed
unifies, dignifies, and makes strong the weak.

And this is who and why we are.

Bound by this idea of love,
we altogether journey on.
