You can scroll the shelf using ← and → keys

Once one starts to make necessary reductions
How obvious all this excess costs
Dragging around an empty container
Full of outdated concepts that have corroded
Couldn’t be more useless


Whisper the rhyme that ties you to heaven
Listen for tiny pauses in the noisy background
Hold close sacred sounds that pass through
Lingering on the air while watching us


Feelings rebounded in growing darkness
Assurance of the eventual conquest of light
Creeps around the corner showing
Both options available to us right now


Trading wisdom for action is a shortcut
To the realm of endless busywork
Rationalize your shifting expectations
By seeking a life with no leisure, no joy
And you will find merit does not accumulate
There will be no way to know what was lost


Nature makes progress towards reform
With occasional destructive damage
Inflicted to destroy barriers to transformation
Cycles continue to find clashing cymbals
Sounding the sparks between opposites


Courting disaster from every possible angle
A contentious power structure upheld
By the flimsy process of representation
Hardly fools anyone
The will toward violence is palpable
It requires patience to resist responding


The flash of color symbolizes the living end
The glorious orchestral shades in warm tones
Lead the eye and the spirit to a crescendo
From which we will naturally begin to sink


The costume ball brings out all sorts
Aspiring to impress in a novel fashion
Drawing attention away from substance
To scrutinize the surface of everything


The forms before our eyes take over our senses
Creative opportunities are forever surfacing
Long enough to be caught for future use
Start the harvest of potential by observation


In foggy conditions no path is clear
The entrance of the newly built future
Stands open but obstructed by flimsy forces
Complete abandon guarantees resistance
