There’s a rhythm coming through

 

There’s a rhythm coming through

Its showing us there’s something new

Beyond our busy expectations

Multi-media fabrications

And collective lamentations

Awakening a different dance

Beyond the “me good - you bad” stance

Groups and nations competition

Of domination and submission

Arguing each the others version

Calling it a damn perversion

Of what is right and what is wrong

And to whom truth and land and God belong

Claims of special entitlement

Guised as rational argument

Or as rules and laws of God or man

Pointing to a larger plan

That gives some power over others

Like birthrights of the older brothers

 

 

This alienation seems to start

When we learn - head must rule heart

And every other body part

We scorn our instincts, intuition

Standardizing all tuition

Always dashin, following fashion,

Stalking status, choking passion

The rush for bigger and for faster

In our push to grow and master

Has only lead to a disaster

Bulldozing all that’s in our way

We’ve lost the caring, lost the play ...

 

 

We’ve learned to live from fear and power and greed

Within paradigms of control that seed

Alienation, contempt, distrust

Reducing sex to soulless lust

That must be managed and controlled

Or flaunted, hidden, even sold

Slick and skilful manipulation

Splitting wealth and deprivation

 

The pecking order shifts a little

Cracking structures that are brittle

But still entrenched in judging rank

We get caught in our mind’s own prank,

And decide we too can use and rule

The planet as our senseless fool

After all its there for us

As the intelligent beings here – what’s the fuss?

But not so fast we’re here and learning

It’s not that simple - tides are turning

Stomachs churning, cities burning

Floods, tornadoes, earthquakes looming

Mining all earth gifts is booming

Social structures come undone

Manipulators on the run

Bursting economic bubbles

Dictators leaving states in rubbles

Terror lurking round each corner

Paranoia of the foreigner

Symptoms of our desperation

Building walls of separation
