On This Good Earth

How can I get you to slow down

How can I get you to close your eyes

Would you like to lie down

Laying on grass is so very nice

If you have a hard floor you can still imagine, imagine, imagine, imagine

Times stopped the seconds hand dropped

Bring all things to a grinding halt

The end of time crossing into timelessness

Where all things infinite reside

Can I slow down

Can I close my eyes

Can I lie on the ground and feel governed

By something other than a construct

A web

A matrix in my head

Presenting me with fictional pleasures

Imagined dystopias

Preferred realities

Corrupting the collective imagination

Its essence

Its power of manifestation

Can I get you to slow down

Can I get you to close your eyes

Can I get you to let go

Can I get you to forget time

And still we choose systems that enslave

Unconscious participants

In self subjugation

Suppressors of others

Fear our justification

Will you slow down

Will you close your eyes

Will you let go

And breath into the stillness of time

When did your tender heart harden

We you scared of being that mad fool

Does it occur to you that centuries have colonised the human mind

But the human spirit never dies

Slow down with me

Close your eyes with me

Lie on the grass and breathe deeply

letting go for the first time

Imaging the world as yours and mine
