WTF

WTF?

Where the hell have we been all our lives?
The gold coin of youth miss-spent knowing what you think
you know. Thinking what we thought to think… Illusions
of sanity, an arrogant vanity... Rolling the rock of roll.

Conforming to the non-conformity,
high on the altitude of attitude, waging war with an
idealism, inhaling the bong breath and holding blind aim
in the cross hairs of a peace sign… a black light reflection.

We were flowered snipers firing fantasy bullets out of a
love gun. And couldn’t hit the truth within ourselves much
less the broad side of the hatred behind our collective eyes.
Angelic psychedelic warriors of cultures dysfunction.

Wisdom tainted in dark innocence rescued by time.
(barely) Disillusioned by reality, compromised to duality,
selling out to…The tick tock clock that mocks undefeated,
as we look in the mirror of our children and see the rebel of
our souls, a reflection of imperfect immortality.

The ultimate narcissistic solution.
