Subtle weaknesses creep beneath
foundations cracking, guardians weak
Stand together, you and I
ward off darkness–
Ply the sky
for inspiration, wisdom seek
from sages past–find a path
to journey through;hike the highway
of forever truth.
Hold on firmly to the faith
That utter goodness will break the pace
and Lambchop and Simba
and we and them
Will forge forward
In spite of your attempts to
make us turn
on one another for the sake
of the bored.
Heavy head and eyelids close
abandon all those heavy woes
for one much lighter dream–
a day in heaven
an end to pain.
I trust not the plastic smiles of suits with legs
that move against us with their tiresome antics.
