#18 «Homeward Bound»

46 4 8
                                    

i.
Are you outward-bound?

With your souls on display, and your minds set free

Fit for one last stormy ride

On the fragile merry-go-round

ii.
Waving your weathered hearts

Like worn out, pale white flags

When only sweet deceit remains

As the last shards of sanity parts

iii.
Eccentricity shan't be your salvation

In this oceanic lunacy

Nor shall wisdom be your aid

When faced with damnation

iv.
Beckon the poets and the writers

Let them out of their imaginary cages

Tie the knot a little tighter

Hand out the gasoline and the lighters

v.
Throw your invulnerability overboard

You have no need for it now

As It certainly has no need for you

Succumb to chance, let circumstance be your newfound lord

vi.
Are you homeward bound?

With your true souls well hidden, cleverly masked as do-gooders

All set for another joyful ride

On the everlasting merry-go-round
