Home Sweet Home ~ Philip Brent Harris
~~~~~
Sad to say, you’ll wonder, the prince of darkness has lost his place
The world outside informs me the king of darkness wears that face
Or is it only me who is lost, despite the daily horrors we are shown
Only me and only I who believes that humanity’s sanity has flown
Choices and choices upon choices, so that we can pick our poison
Greedy gluttony dulls our senses, no matter which sense is chosen
Or black ink from a tainted needle scratching some obscene image
A mask worn by every saint and sinner, a claimed or denied visage
Original or purloined words, that may be simple or overly complex
Write that we must change the answer; it’s more than drink and sex
Still, I‘m but a prophet, scraggly, old, long of tooth and long of beard
Screams of hope, drowned by the noises of everything you’ve feared
Any one of the isms or any one of other narrow words ending with S
Hissing like the gas into your chamber, it’s you it’s longing to possess
Till then I can only try to continue to attune with all cosmic energy
Do my utmost to change the music, while I’m searching for the key
Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment
