Public Transportation as a Means of Self Discovery

I wrote this a couple years ago, I hope yall dig it. :-]


When you told me it was because I was afraid, I didn't believe you or understand.
Then again, you've always been more honest with me than I am.
You taught me that the lust for power is a disguise
For the desire to eliminate the fear that runs our lives
These are the kind of truths that can only be communicated or understood
During a latenight, long distance phone call
High on vicodin, riding the waves of dopamine into oblivion
Where everything is clear and nothing matters

A man, unsure of his identity, looks inside of himself.
He finds more questions than answers, and wonders
Is the desire to discover more than a deceitful device of the desire--
Nay, the compulsion
To continue filling these sacs of tissue with oxygen
To keep the neurons firing

When asked what happens when reason fails, the oracle responds
Is it reason that has failed?

 

Damn dude.. you have talent. I woulda never guessed. :tongue:
Jk.. I think it's really good though! Do you have any more?

 

I keep rereading this.

 

awesome. i felt this was the strongest line becuase of the meter.

this work is perfectly logical...and it rhymes well. nice.
