I Don't Know Myself

I'll take my own advice,
Use this to meditate,
On who I am and who I want to be,
Though the time may seem late,

You know those things you think of from the past,
The cringe moments of life,
That tell you what you don't want to repeat,
Filling your shoulders with pain like a knife.

Saying how you don't want the world to be,
Though you created it?
Are those rules something that you are born with,
Or that you inherit?

Does it matter?
The rules are never bad,
No one ever regretted being good,
Even when it ended making them sad.

Don't Ask Why

Is the power of thought,
Enough to change your life?
I've been engaged in manifestation,
For the last twenty nights.

To be honest it's hard to figure out,
The cause and the effect,
For despite Hume's words three humdred years hence, They are not sufficiently explained, yet,

I feel as if things are going my way,
But does it matter why?
A cause only's good as its last effect,
Strategy is a lie,

But important!
We can't help think this way,
Hence the accolades for the successful,
Reserving for the failures or distain.

Every Word Counts

I don't have time for this,
Or anything, you know,
I just learned you won't know when you will die,
It could be tomorrow,

Yet here we are worrying about the laws,
That tell us what to do,
Well, I guess most of them say what to not,
I think they all should be that way, don't you?

Though I suppose it's just how it's written,
Just like holding a tool,
You must not, not pay your income taxes,
My god, I'm such a fool,

Or should not be,
I'm twisted into curls,
While I could be gone in the next minute,
I don't what these to be my final words!

Who We Are

We are part of space,
Those NASA images,
Colours and patterns we cant understand,
For we live in cages,

We were not put there by anybody,
Imagine you're a dog,
I ask you to explain mathematics,
You may as well just start fucking a log,

It's not that human beings are stupid,
Gosh, look at Charles Babbage,
His only constraint was technology,
That is not his baggage,

It's time owns that,
No one escapes the start,
Not even the aliens that are us,
Who grew us in a petri dish for parts.

Time Explained

Today was a good day,
As yesterday was, too,
Maybe not in the moment or after,
But, that was much too soon,

Everyone knows that time's personal,
The past changes with time,
You ne'er know everything 'bout something,
What you know changes the passing of time.

So does the future 'cause it has a past,
That's how you can see it,
Unless there's a path to a place to trace,
It's not on your planet.

What do I know?
Should I be confident?!
P'haps I should go with the Proverbyal flow,
There's no proof for any tack in the end.

Happy Dominion Day

Happy Dominion Day,
That's how it once was known,
Celebrating being free of England,
Still loyal to the Crown,

But autonomous in every way,
Well, 'least the country is,
Those inside it, well depends who you are,
All countries judge you by your origins,

Now we all celebrate Canada day,
Well, the government does,
Those inside it respond in diff'ring ways,
Often depending on their origins,

We have a lot to be proud of, you know,
Universal healthcare,
Basic respect for individuals,
Regardless of from where,

Or what they think,
In both those things I'm proud,
Rather grateful, it should be a given,
But life's made up of silence versus loud.
