Animal Poem
Courage is a tired mom, milk crate and a cardboard sign Trying to find a story for her daughter This is how the world exists, let me spin it for you kid In a way that's easier to swallow Everyone is in a play, characters in constant pain Reaching for a way to taste some beauty You can be someone who loves, or you can be somebody else That's all there is, you breathe, then you're not breathing Lit up real neon bulb, everything is human love Everywhere you look therе might be meaning Chaos is an ancient art, you can cut thе world you want Out of any shit that you've been given I don't know and tell me more, is a poem that never fails Spoken in the language of a lover You can be someone who moves, and tries to move somebody else That's all there is, you die in broken laughter None of it is really fair, born into the atmosphere Breathing gold or stealing when you're hungry Everyone you come upon, holds a picture in their mind Ask them and they might just show you something Magpie on the dying grass, looking for a diamond Or some trash to build a temporary altar Letras de cancionesEverything's a turning wheel, it comes around, you're born, you feel You leave the truth you stole for someone after High up silver howling bird, looking down to see the world Spinning out into the vast forever Flying is a faithful dance, animals suspended At the place where understanding touches vapor Sorry and i'm listening, is a poem that's always been Beautiful enough to kill the darkness You can be someone who loves, or you can be somebody else I tell you kid, the first one is the hardest From Letras Mania
