Some teach you that you have enemies
That people who don’t know you
Are working to sabotage all your dreams.
Isn’t it much more likely that
You are the source of all your conflicts?


Choppy seas and deep tremors disrupt
Our calm steady outlook
Internally boiling
Rising to the surface
Tsunami warning


Tides turn every day, following the moon
The forces that surge ahead
Eventually, predictably reverse course
Every wave is different
Many not suitable for riders


Timeless truth survives collective madness
Refined good taste abandons consumption
Stripping away the needless layers of greed
Leaving behind vain glories of excess
To reveal graceful details once overlooked

When we look up we see the gaudy chandelier

The tacky merchandise for sale
Reminiscent of eve of the French Revolution
If you cast your gaze downward
It’s clear that this foundation built on debt
Is a total illusion


When time takes over the game
Ideas created for the sake of image
Postures assumed for looks
Turn out to be useless
In the face of tumultuous change


To what extent does unconscious consent
Rule your decisions?
If you don’t design your life
It will happen by default


Those who practice ceaselessly
Fine tune talent pushing towards excellence
Exercising creativity by stretching limits
Hopping past the predictions of fools


Americans tell strangers within the first few minutes
What they paid for the house in which they live
What the rate is on their loan from the bank
Concluding with how much they think it’s worth now
This establishes the anchor to which they tie their ship
The ignorance and willful blindness is astounding
It perfectly explains how the country went broke


Camouflage is used to keep a story circulating
Despite facts, under the guise of cultural norms
Covering obvious gaps in the narrative
With ornamental details of flimsy platitudes
