Against The Grain

Three thousand miles of wilderness

Overcome by the flow,

A lonely restitution of pavement,

Pomp and show,

I seek a thousand answers,

I find but one or two,

I maintain no discomfiture,

My path again renewed,

Against the grain,

That's where i'll stay,

Swimming upstream,

I maintain against the grain



Here labelled as lunatic,

Sequestered and content,

There ignored and defeated

By the government,

There's an oriented public who's magnetic

Force does pull,

But away from the potential of the individual,

Against the grain.....



The flow is getting stronger

With smaller increments of time and eddies

Of new ideas are increasingly hard to find,

You need all that the other has,

Your right to seize the day

But in all your acquisitions you will soon

Be swept away,

Against the grain......

There's a common consensus

And an uncomfortable cheer,

A reverberating chorus that anyone can hear,

It sings "leave your cares behind you,

Just grab tenaciously",

This lulling sense or purpose will

Destroy us rapidly,

Against the grain.....
