Life is like poetry; winds blows feathers
Freely to the heavens weightless, with no
Bound of gravity, come fly with me, and fly with me
Lets feel free, and be free and see this here earth
As the paradise, that was promised to thee
When we were young angelic and blissfully blessed
That landed us into the joyful gardens of Eden
Where feathers fly and weight is weightless
And the golden sun, creams the land every night at sunset
Why are all children's poems, rhymes and stories so dark
Red ridding hood, Humpty dumpty, Pop goes the weasel
Mary, Mary quite contrary, Sing a song of sixpence
Have you ever seen the sight, in plain sight
Of a falling angel, dropped by eviction
From the garden of Eden, like meteorites fall
The drag me down of feathers wet
With chains by gravity, of living with reality
Back to earth so fast, absent of golden parachutes
I guess abstract in some ways, hidden codes
Long before adulthood as children
In the garden of Eden, in playful grounds
We were taught with nursery rhymes
Poems and stories, like old Mother Hubbard, a' Jack and Jill
To know how dark and complex the world can be
But to see a falling angel and feathers with gravity so strong
And have meaning of such hidden codes, in nusery rhymes
Wait until you come off Mother's milk.
