Why don’t leaders know where to go?
Why are they lost in life?
The top looks down, the down looks up
And what is seen is need
Upside down.
And the story unfolds
From inside out
And outside in.
What guides the emptiness
Perhaps time is both
When inside is out?
Backwards and forwards
And forward comes back
To becoming what was
And the need to know
Loses its way
At the top?
So, what is meaning
Without a heart?
What is a heart
Without meaning?
“How goes it up there on high?”
“See the cloudy sky?”
Or is it something like
A blind eye?
Good stuff up high
Pie in the Sky
Obese with the self
As waste finds its way
To the bottom.
Then what?
A man living through Time
Without a mind
Filled with empty meaning
Just another prime mate
From before?
So, what is it that guides
The ship of power
To crash on the shore?
What isn’t true
Must be so.
What will come of it
We’ll see
Breeding and feeding,
Full bellies and empty souls
Sailing on high
To eternity?
