474 Family Man

... don't let life drive you around the bend. Go with glide in your stride instead, always wisely your time do spend.

"Macha I gotta run, am with my daughters at a party"
Was what he said to me - Samir one of my besties from School.
2 little angels he and his wife are raising, sweet ain't it, they dance and go whee.

Let's cut back to my typical work engrossed family man friend.
I wonder if you guys are really happy or often overwhelmed?
If I could say something, it's this - don't let life drive you around the bend.
Go with glide in your stride instead, always wisely your time do spend.

For in the end, we're all cannon fodder in capitalistic economy with no chance to use our spears.
I say indeed, be like Gandalf the White, let's let their figurative blood too spill.

We're in the fight of our lives, a new generation that lives on consumerism.
No one's ready to wake up and rock the boat or to build a Field of Dreams.

The bard is free to comment on what he pleases, no thought or vantage point is off limits.
He doesn't know how hard is this dog eat dog world.
But were all crashing and burning into each other by Nature's design, so be it
That one day we'll dance on a Common Planet and LOVE will have us all awhorl
