Inverted Reflections - with audio

Failed to be a man
Failed to understand
Failed to truly see
All that's needed
To make it be
So live in defeats of the day
Till comes the dawn of another way
When to see if he remain
In the kingdom of this domain
Or at least in a land of peers

Not of witless simple turning gears
Not the quiet panic in running sheilas
Nor the dandy Homo sapiens fellas
Then throw out the politically corrects
Along with all Bureaucratic suspects
Only then can the mind turn clear
The heart calm down
The soul shed despair

Yet the spirit shall take flight
Beyond this pallored vale
To transcend and look down
Upon all those choices
Stuck deep in muddy ground
In Terra Firma spinning round
Still, within all that can be

Looking out from eternity
A place of treasured love to see
There a wealth of family
Beautiful sons, wife and daughter
Health, warmth and laughter
Friends, Pets, birds and Orange Blossoms
These upon him are showered
Gifts from above in that same hour.
