I’m either
You’re neither
Together we’re both
.
I’m your friend to no end
Hence all tenderness tendered
Only possess single hell-bent agenda
To venture forth blithely
With skin sat beside me
And roar out the lion residing inside me
.
Should I overstep the line at all please do feel free to guide me
Only need remind one time and I’ll outline precisely
Not the kind to smile politely when you’re out of line
Not when disinclined to where it might lead
.
Call me beast and slacken up the leash
Pull the reins and action most illustrious of scenes
Never more industrious than when I’m duly seen
Not atop the shoulder blades but some place in-between
.
Some place in-between
.
Don’t possess the time to play charades that mortals lead
Far too many masquerades endorsed by thoughtless deed
Not that I agree with heedless caution to proceed
Not my duty when there’s so much beauty in the bleed
.
Call me beast and slacken up the leash
Pull the reins and action most illustrious of scenes
Never more industrious than when I’m duly seen
Not atop the shoulder blades but some place in-between
.
All of me is calling to the kindly to proceed
Altered beasts stand tallest with the sky beneath their feet
All of me is rising in the tide of timeless breeze
All of me delights within the flight of autumn leaves
Though my mind’s a swarm of locusts
Borderline psychosis isn’t nearly as atrocious as the focus groups have shown us
Besides I bid recline inside a flower known as lotus
And here I shall compose each ode proposed as magnum opus
Here I shall compose each ode proposed as magnum opus
Magnum opus
Magnum opus
(I will not give up)
.
Call me beast and slacken up the leash
Pull the reins and action most illustrious of scenes
Never more industrious than when I’m duly seen
Not atop the shoulder blades but some place in-between
.
I’m your friend to no end
Hence all tenderness tendered
Only possess single hell-bent agenda
.
