Dealing with Guiliver
by Marcus Cheney

He who stands against the crowds and currents
is never truly alone, if he knows himself
truth is told in movement and the soul is fluid
and of fire. Burn brightly kinder for we may not
have much time. Speak in truths and justice,
live like kings in your poverty and forsake
all those that bring you to peril
suffer the consequences, be honest in your actions
con with conviction and be eternally saved
we are all eternally enslaved to the grave
and the roads that were paved before us
are in desperate need of repair
but fear not, don’t despair
if it is all to much then disappear
in your physical form and become metaphysics
your brain is your only guide threw the darkness
and the key to the way out, or into the light
cast shadows on as many street corners
to say you were there, this is me and myself
and my time is now, this is how you reach promise
and its not the bronze streets in an American dream
ordinary it would seem in fiction or fairy tale.
We are of this earth and its saviors
we are braver than to be destroyed
by are own ignorance, or are we
ask repeatedly, what does the future hold for me
I have a pocket watch and the day’s do tick by
in its measure we are disrupting the control
to one day hold our heads higher than in shame
if it is all the same to your stagnation
be still , and watch the breaths
rotate in and our of themselves
and if it’s death
do not fear , for now we are here
and can make all the difference
with our dedication to defiance
sell all your thoughts and notions
become a nihilist
and lets start over
He who stands against the crowds and currents
is never truly alone, if he knows himself.
