Elusive spark Unknown to most Once generated Tortures the host Creative impulse Won't be contained Means of expression Can't be restrained
There in my head A labored birth There is a need for words
A fledgling thought Fading to gray Older extremities Rust and decay The urgency To concentrate Surely the muses will No longer wait
A vain attempt Try to define Inspiration divine
100 of these useless words All I've said ignored or unheard Losing our freewill we're to blame For our unwillingness to change
Halfway over the edge of me Halfway through fighting the machine Rally masses to get involved In hope humanity will evolve
Weary from finding nothing new Still forge with the same point of view Boundaries broken, but lost resolve Waiting for it all to evolve (Wearily waiting for evolution)
Misunderstood Ahead of its time A good suggestion Unrecognized A new beginning Of innocence Braving the waters Of our dissent
There in my head A labored birth There is a need for words
