(Sung to the tune of System of a Down's 'Aerials')
Life is a waterfall:
We're one in the river
and one again after the fall.*
The river warm and blue's the Otherworld,
Beginning and ending
Our souls twined then unfurled.
Immortal spirits clothed in flesh-
We hardly notice how
Stealthily meat and soul mesh.
We want the right to pick and choose,
But disregard the fact
That we'll get our just dues
Our return
to Otherworld
In the end what have we really learned?
Otherworld
Spirits hurled,
In a mist of oblivion whirled.
*These are the first 3 lines of 'Aerials, ' the song that inspired me to write this poem.
