2006-01-10 - till debt due us part
having seen the other side
there's no better place to hide
every mecca's just a park
even sunlight's but a spark
a thrill ride epidermis
a solar hydro-furnace
a plethora of currents
ice age freeze deterrents
and all those products on TV
once upon a time were free
in a land where you and I
lived and dreamed of days gone by
myth-busting deception
limits to perception
dimming recollection
going nowhere fast
wedding crash reception
spreading rash infection
stock mark cash correction
booms that never last
realization tries to call
civilizations rise and fall
see the beauty of it all
looks are so deceiving
hype and fluff are standing tall
beggars ride and princes crawl
see it all here at the mall
no, you'll not soon be leaving
not unless your heart is true
commerce gets the best of you
it's a world's eye point of view
come and swim, it's shallow
though your payment's overdue
you can't quit until you're through
no one gets out of the stew
till the pot is fallow
but out there on the other side
treasures loom and eagles glide
winds of fortune aid your ride
nothing there will harm you
let these words sink deep inside
put to death that selfish pride
let love in and then decide
false beauty shall not charm you
