![]() Untitled (Close your eyes)A Poem by ghaw2007Untitled (Close your eyes) Close your eyes and give me your land In return I'll give you glorified lies No need to starve when I have all the food Display loyalty and you'll get to eat Necessities will be at your disposal So long as you agree with me You'll get to brush your teeth and cover your as-s Pretty please forgive me if that sounds crass You're too sensitive but I can help to butch you up Put you in a ring with a prize fighter Charge people lots of money to see the spectacle If your ear is bitten off Do the same to the other guy By helping me you're helping yourself Your assistance will go a long way By making you a better person and enriching your soul Clap your hands and bear witness with me As I speak the truth ever so loudly Every word I say is from on high Don't reject me for I'm the messenger Syllables spill out like water from a tap Gather all the buckets and have them filled Time is always of the essence Sadly, it waits for no man We could go on and on about how things should be Indulge ourselves in wasteful fantasies But those luxuries are bestowed on children And it's up to us to teach them the right way What goes around may come back your way And if it does, you better duck You'll have to come to terms with your actions Embrace accountability as gracefully as you can Stand tall, keep your head up high For I'm always by your side If you ask for forgiveness, you shall receive it A judgement-free environment is an optimal one I'll teach you compassion and empathy And my personal brand of philosophy You don't have to travel the world to get what you need The cup of wisdom is now in your hands You've been dehydrated Drink up and fill your soul Goodness will purify you in profound ways It has the ability to outlast your bones The future is here and now What you make of it is everlasting No need to knock on wood if you do as you're told Foolish beings have been bought and sold But you're wise enough to understand the gift you've been given Going down is not an option You do your best to live a good life It gets more challenging as the days pass And surrendering becomes appealing Follow my lead and you'll eventually see That what I've explained to you is real I'm interested in your well-being I'm interested in your healing A comprehensive approach without restrictions A metamorphosis of every cell and thought Clean out your ears and eyes For I have the cure you seek The search for tomorrow begins now You're young and on the edge of adventure Place your feet in my hands And I'll release you into the sky You'll go beyond the clouds And experience what's on the other side Written by B.
