SECOND SIGHT
Shouting out loud so my voice can be heard
and the crowd will hang on to my every word
from the absurd to the totally sublime
a captive audience time after time
who give me the attention I demand
in a way that helps you understand
that it's your chance to see into the future
view tomorrow's news today if it suits you
With an open mind you'll know the score
but it's your... responsibility
to explore this opportunity
that throws wide open its door to you
It's no snide token for the chosen few
It will flow into your consciousness
but you'll be none the less amazed to learn
of days you yearn to have the knowledge of
College offers us no explanation
no degree of education prepares us
Our awareness of the future tense
at no expense to our sanity
will be heightened and our minds will be free

I don't know any of the songs, but it makes an interesting mix!
ReplyDeleteThanks Viv :)
ReplyDeleteYeah! Intense stuff - I'd like to hear this performed, with or without the amazing accompaniment of Chang Noi.
ReplyDeleteNice exploration, Stan, although slightly terrifying. Don't think I want all that floating into my consciousness. Focusing on the present... but I do enjoy the intensity of your words.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brenda :)
DeleteAs you know I'm stuck in musical past. I also enjoy traditional Musicals. The Music Man, Oklahoma, so I'm not familiar with your references. But I agree that college can only prepare one so far. The rest you've got to learn 'outside the box'.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for your visit.
Thanks Jules :)
DeleteSecond sight is always hanging around and putting its own two cents worth into the mix. Your son is fabulous,

Stan, there is nothing to us prepare for the future tense, I agree. I must say your son is a fine musician and when he threw the guitar down at the end, I laughed. Totally adorable.
