Look under my table
Tears bleeding like the
reddest of a red rose, I
dream of daydreaming,
Quiet frost bitten moment
succumbed with desire,
look under my table,
Search the deepest hollow
hole. Wave from the
mountain without determined
men, Forecast the love of
a woman, Chase down thunder,
Look under my table
Feel the torment of a rat
in a cage, Imagine the
book open being able to
breath, Kick the dust from
the doorway,
Look under my table,
Feel the cry of a native
Americans yesterday, check the
chain of a forgotten slave,
Choose a stage for your
play, Run from the worry
of today,
Look under my table,
Chase down the line on the
page, Tackle the author
of your life,Look when you
need it the most, Scream
in a lifeless library,
Jump from the smallest
cloud, Look for the black
on a white man, Drive
when you feel lost,
Look under my table
Look under my table
Look under my table
