Hype

When the rational 

became rationed 

and fodder is now filler. 

The worlds all hyped up 

on something that calms you down. 

Did you ever think 

I meant to be that way?

Who, what, where, when and how?

How do you steal back the sun

from greedy cloud grasps

or bottle a rainbow

for show?

and what button do you press

to record the tune in your head?

Upstream

We

will paddle on.

and we,

will carry on forward

with 

or against the tide.

and

when we feel

as if all is lost

we will make something

from nothing but ourselves.
