Haystack

Off the Grid                           9/26/2017

Dead before you know it

And dead before you down

Murdered in the spirit

And scattered on the ground.

Once you feel it

The deed is mostly done

That sinking in the stomach

Unprepared and dumb.

Should have seen it coming

And should have seen the signs

The least threatening person

Strangely needy

And strangely close.

Deep down you will know

And when you feel it

Run like hell

For better it is to live

Than die for doubt.

Heed the call

And listen

To your instincts

The voice calling out

In the back

Of your brain. 

You can either

Stand up

Or crawl on your belly

Unafraid of truth

No matter what.

Now more than ever

Some will grow

And many

Will beg. 

Courageous men

Sift through the lies

Endless searching

For reality

And truth.

Rising up

And standing fast

Anything but a beast

That pees in the grass.

Gone in a day

Is he who surrenders

Less than a worm

Without honor

Or love.

But blessed is he

Who searches

And learns

Through observation

And experience.  

Open your eyes

And search it through

Better done now

For what is right 

And what is true.
