Out of Order

Like a caterpillar who wants to fly
But first must commit to a life of crawls
Near a pool shallow enough, you'd be surprised what could dissolve
Cause Charles Darwin taught me even Christians could evolve
Like Edgar Allan Poe. Or Vincent van Gogh

But I'd rather go...out with a fight
Because the time is always right to do what is right
So I write..for me
Write every letter from M-L-K to P-A-C

I guess Robert Frost took the right path
But what about Plath?
Like the car knows the cheetah can't be defeated
So it cheated
Carbon monoxide trails to clog up it's breathing

So like Confucius or Gandhi in spiritual Nirvana
But Cobain got caught in the smell of his teen spirit
How's that for some karma?

Alexander the Great, minds think alike
But that's not enough for me
Where inspiration outlives injustice
We'd still have Socrates

Like both King and Lennon dreamed
But still had to face the gun
Yet still, I imagine
Cause I'm not the only one

I imagine a life where it's easy to be a star
Cause even giant balls of gas still shine from afar
I seen it all on a Starry Night
When death taught me not to fear
Cause metaphorically, Vincent went blind without his left ear

See, Gandhi told me to be the change that I want to see
So every time I evolve, I look at it as destiny

But we're just like a jellyfish washed up in the sand
Afraid; so it stings all extended helping hands
And finally a butterfly floats through the air with swiftness
But a flytrap still can't tell the difference..
