the world and it's problems
an oyster with a pearl that can solve them
but once we find solace
in the places we've encountered
we'll soon find ourselves spinning
before an inconquerable tidal wave
and whereupon we find ourselves there
that place we found that meant disaster
once before the sky turns gray
and the heavens open up to swallow us
we will find ourselves once more
before the eye of the storm
to stand at the edge and peer over
grasping the concept few understand
staring deep into the abyss and holding
holding close the few things we have left
we prepare to cast them adrift
but still the mind wanders
to think about what use they still might hold
We wade into the waters of our oppression
waiting for the right moment to strike
but when, like fools born from men we are,
merely mortal men miss the mark
and like the predictable nature of our ancestors
our tendencies tend to jump the shark
