Analysis of In the mind and eye

Mark Cloutier 1972 (Kaneohe)



The day is past
And the night falls fast
Of a future that comes last
We begin again in an end
And return the light
As stars that fall
To both sun and moon
That do not move in course
And as we are a revolution
In words that are endless
And the truth comes down
Upon the ground in multitudes
Of people that never leave
Or are removed from their state
And position and in submission
They render every dollar
To those who go before them
And then follow in back to front
And then lead us out
As freemen in what was spent
As riches follow
And we enter through the doors
Of perception as light
In the mind and eye
