The Garden

The gods care not for the plight of man
They idle in worlds beyond our span
The almighty forces on high wash their hands of responsibility
Though it is within their power to intervene, they choose to abstain
So pray not to Zeus for guidance and ask Poseidon not for protection
We must look to each other, and within ourselves
Come into the garden we’ll walk a while
The heaven and earth we will reconcile
The gods care not for the plight of man
And it’s become clear that they have no plan
It is naive to put our faith in egocentric deities
And it is arrogant of them to speak of the human condition
Though they claim to have our interests at heart
There is precious little evidence of the fact
Come into the garden we’ll walk a while
The heaven and earth we will reconcile

All My Ducks in a Row
01:58

When I get the bus I always sit on the top deck where I can observe the crusted filth and beer cans on the roofs of the shelters
It’s 4pm and I’ve done nothing with my day
And mists of gloom snake all through the living room
All the stars are aligned
All my ducks in a row
Making angels in the snow
Placated
Temporarily scatter the wasps in my brain
But soon they’ll swarm again
I am the host of my own personal talk show with carefully selected questions to employ in times of conversational stall
Oh I just can’t wait to be dead
I’ll sleep easy tonight safe in the knowledge that I’ve done over three things today.
All the stars are aligned
All my ducks in a row
Making angels in the snow
Placated
Temporarily scatter the wasps in my brain
But soon they’ll swarm again
I’d like to teach English as a foreign language
I like to think of myself as engaging
But I didn’t go to university
And I don’t have the necessary papers
