WHAT DOES IT MEAN

mad hippie poet 1974 (new jersey)



If the eyes are open but do not yet see if the belly is full yet the heart is empty, what does it mean if you speak words without listening? What does it mean if you live but do not know how to dream? What does that mean if you fall but do not know how to return? What does that mean you do is scream, but no one hears your screams because you never listened to their calls for help when they needed so they bled, and the shine from their star went out.

You never knew who or what I was, but here I stand. With everything being thrown out, I still find a way to carry on. When you were listening to that new upbeat song singing offbeat along, I was listening to the lyrics, and hell, it was written for me and set my soul on fire. I might be a sinner, but who is the liar

What does it mean when the day ends and the night begins, the heat is touching my head I got a different type of fever? You think you have all the fucking answers, but I'm now a free man and no longer a believer, so I'm outside with the cold touching my pale skin, but guess what it means? I still win.

What does it mean when the river runs deep, but still I find myself swimming upstream? What does it mean when it seems that I'm the only one awake and everyone else is asleep?
