One of seven billion plus, no? Perhaps this is not so any longer
can it be? After this last year? 2020, 20/20?
Eyes wide open
what did we see?
So much death. So much so many in place of decision
even now thru decision and not making decision adding to the incredible numbers of deaths. Numbers hard to encompass their reality. Still in the context of our supposed numbers overall,
the question necessarily surfaces
within at least this mind always attempting seeing clearly,
what impact pandemics’ happenstance(?) on world population?
It, for those concerned for us of the future resources available and to so many, central to their calculation. Necessarily true, then to a mind of this kind comes question of pandemic and even possibly vaccine in some other fashions’ part in providing solution to this question. The capitalist, governmental mind from my study clearly historically able
to see the positive side
to all the common man
finds horrific.
There is to the finally coming to clearsighted awareness
thru, for some, individual significant persons and intimate situation
and for others clear understanding of the history
of mankinds’ relation to itself,
that the retreat into the depths of themselves
sure of their inability to be a self
reflective
or one protective enough
has its reason.
Not biochemical misfirings of different component parts of the brain
and/or
inabilty to control emotion.
Can’t find it conspiratorial fantasy
to recognize in supposed coincidence
and lifes’ just being life, the continuing
over especially the last 20 years
occurrences that have as part of their every happening
the profiting of those occupying
the upper tiers
of the pyramid that is humanity. Or find it mental illness,
the truth
of sight
of those occupyings’
willingness to do those things of profit to them
and horrific
to the minds of those unable to accept it as human.
Seems to be no thought given to the sensitivities of those empathetic to the suffering of others
as reason
for the manifestations of differences in behavior
defined as mental illness. In too many personal lives thru to what’s there to be seen on the world stage,
mans’ understanding of himself as predator.
So many of the educated
sure of mans’ animalistic beginnings
seemingly ignorant
of the possible, probable inner worlds
of those
recognizing themselves
as prey.
I have different way of writing songs. Sometimes they just come to me. Sometimes I write them in phrases similar to the ones you wrote and then break them down into metered phrases. Sometimes I start with the music. Sometimes with the lyrics. Sometimes it’s a wrestling match between the two.
