in a world where
butter cuts the knife
children make
the mom's and dad's
and hell created heaven
as punishment
in an upside down world
people would try to do right
to do wrong
and, oh,
so often people love to do wrong
to make love a minor key song
in an upside down version
of our world,
it would work out
where the bird would sing
in the maple tree
when we used every bit
of energy
that tries to keep them caged here
in a world where
butter's cut by knives
children made
by mom's and dad's
and hell's heaven's
invention
oh, vengeance
it's an upside down world
where people try to do wrong
to do right
and, oh,
so often people love to do wrong
to make love a minor key song
you can call it a backwards version
of our backwards world
it would work out
where the bird would soar
above ageless trees
when we used every bit
of synergy
that tries to keep them maimed here
Absolutely brilliant
Absolutely brilliant commentary that provokes some fascinating questions about right and wrong and the state of society. I'm imagining that this lilting and innovative mind voyage would make a wonderful song. A pure pleasure to read and contemplate.
Thank you very much,
Thank you very much, Patricia. This one is indeed intended for a song. You always do a fine job of picking that up, among your many insights as a reader. Always grateful.
