You can talk about
a more caring, sharing world
but I don’t know
how realistic that is
can we make this
a much better world?
Or are we destined
to fall on our faces again?
all the real questions
are yet unanswered
we seek out gurus
or high priests of reality
none of them know
what they want to be
they just settle for
whatever they are
and I can’t speak
for anyone other than myself
though I do occasionally
get out of line
I speak up and talk
voicing a wrong opinion
as if there even is
such a thing as that
guess a new Krishna
or an ice cold beer
but something’s gotta
pull me from this funk
