Where is it now?
Song and voice
Swirl around my
Yesterday head
There,
with hands
Of clean heart,
Sweet fingers
Fingers of Yesterday,
Move and handle
Things,
Like the gentle skin,
Of a gentle,
Baby
Come back air,
Come back song,
Blue sky,
White clouds,
Summer sun,
Sun,
Shine on me again
Take me back,
To a holy siren song
To a desolate loneliness
Please,
A harpsichord,
Plays,
Outside myself,
Above me
I see,
Tears drip
On my freckled,
Suntanned country,
Fresh face of utter,
Innocence
And I,
No,
I am not,
Alone, I am not
I Am here
Raise the dead
And be it gone,
Kick in the face
That of what is,
Evil
That is
Of what is the greed,
The murder,
The followers
Of death
Yeah!
Stay afar,
I mention not
Your name
Those that ruin
All that is good
Take me back,
There
To yellow stalks of wheat
Meadow larks
And grey clay loam soil
Twilight nights
Shining full moons
Dew on the land
Coyote wails
I wish and pray
Now I am,
On the forgotten land
Where i once stood
Time sped
Leaving me behind
Hurled and ruthlessly threw me
Down
Cruelly hurt me
Now
The former
Is choked,
Overrun,
By the bad deeds
Of heartless
Thoughtlessness,
By the noise . . .
Trampled,
By the shallow
Of rushing beings,
Captivated
By cell phones,
Images
Constantly flowing,
Flitting
Crushing,
The past
Nostalgia murdered,
By the shallow,
The rush,
The warning signposts
Of yesterday ignored
A slow death
Enveloped
By the deceit
Of that "we will never
Die"
Til it comes
For the thought,
Of the present
Is,
Tomorrow will not
Ever come
'Til,
For those that
Seek the tik
And tok
And the platforms of
The Apps
The world of flickering lights
The ubiquitous
Media
Transfixed
Glued
Take a breath?
Break away?
No,
Perhaps
To wake
To what?
Not until
The electricity
The components
Of the virtual
Are cut off
Song and voice
Swirl around my
Yesterday head
There,
with hands
Of clean heart,
Sweet fingers
Fingers of Yesterday,
Move and handle
Things,
Like the gentle skin,
Of a gentle,
Baby
Come back air,
Come back song,
Blue sky,
White clouds,
Summer sun
