This Dream (of Consciousness)
------------------------------------------------------------

This dream runs deep and wide traversing diverse landscapes of timeless mind
Nourishing roots, springing shoots, bringing forth life force from the sand sublime.
Carving out cracks in the moon-lit meadows. Tracing out shapes not seen in the ghettos.
Keeping that water running clean gotta get us a jug with a cap and fill it up while they let us.

This dream of consciousness is taking me away
This dream of consciousness gets me through the day

The blood of the earth runs red in this dry riverbed making the most of deathless excrement.
Settling sediment is evident. Self-immolation imminent. Solo cremation: main event. Heaven-sent.
Gasoline streams between my eyebrows. Seeks the path least resistant straight down.
Pooling up in puddles at my feet, highly combustible. Mixing with the mud in the street, swirling and colorful.

This dream of consciousness is keeping me awake
This dream of consciousness.
Destiny awaits...

Light a spark. Feel the heat. Test of will. Make a speech.
Shut my mouth. Close your eyes. Be the change. Eulogize.
Flames rise quick and pain changes perspective.
Life lessons reflect a new directive
Wait! Put me out! I changed my mind, savor life.
Pain and strife don't circumscribe the full scope of activism.
Find a crack in the stack of megalithic boulders and shoulder the burden of a life worth living.

This dream of consciousness is wandering aimlessly
This dream of consciousness is washing me out to sea
Oh this dream
