limlight81 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 One humanoid escapee One android on the run Seeking freedom beneath A lonely desert sun Trying to change its program Trying to change the mode- Crack the code Images conflicting Into data overload 1-0-0-1-0-0-1 S.O.S 1-0-0-1-0-0-1 In distress 1-0-0-1-0-0 Memory banks unloading Bytes break into bits Unit One's in trouble And it's scared out of its wits Guidance systems break down A struggle to exist- To resist- A pulse of dying power In a clenching plastic fist... It replays each of the days A hundred years of routines Bows its head and prays To the mother of all machines... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limlight81 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Sprawling on the fringes of the city In geometric order An insulated border In between the bright lights And the far unlit unknown Growing up it all seems so one-sided Opinions all provided The future pre-decided Detached and subdivided In the mass production zone Nowhere is the dreamer Or the misfit so alone Subdivisions - In the high school halls In the shopping malls Conform or be cast out Subdivisions - In the basement bars In the backs of cars Be cool or be cast out Any escape might help to smooth The unattractive truth But the suburbs have no charms to soothe The restless dreams of youth Drawn like moths we drift into the city The timeless old attraction Cruising for the action Lit up like a firefly Just to feel the living night Some will sell their dreams for small desires Or lose the race to rats Get caught in ticking traps And start to dream of somewhere To relax their restless flight Somewhere out of a memory Of lighted streets on quiet nights...

BestIKenster Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Unstable condition, A symptom of life, In mental and environmental change. Atmospheric disturbance, The feverish flux Of human interface and interchange. The impulse is pure; Sometimes our circuits get shorted By external interference. Signals get crossed And the balance distorted By internal incoherence. A tired mind become a shape-shifter, Everybody need a mood lifter, Everybody need reverse polarity. Everybody got mixed feelings About the function and the form. Everybody got to deviate from the norm. An ounce of perception, A pound of obscure. Process information at half speed. Pause, rewind, replay, Warm memory chip, Random sample, hold the one you need. Leave out the fiction, The fact is, this friction Will only be worn by persistence. Leave out conditions, Courageous convictions Will drag the dream into existence. A tired mind become a shape-shifter, Everybody need a soft filter, Everybody need reverse polarity. Everybody got mixed feelings About the function and the form. Everybody got to elevate from the norm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestIKenster Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 There are those who think that life Has nothing left to chance, A host of holy horrors To direct our aimless dance A planet of playthings We dance on the strings Of powers we cannot perceive "The stars aren't aligned - Or the gods are malign" Blame is better to give than receive. You can choose a ready guide In some celestial voice. If you choose not to decide You still have made a choice You can choose from phantom fears And kindness that can kill; I will choose a path that's clear- I will choose free will There are those who think that They were dealt a losing hand, The cards were stacked against them- They weren't born in Lotus-Land All pre-ordained A prisoner in chains A victim of venomous fate Kicked in the face You can pray for a place In heaven's unearthly estate Each of us A cell of awareness Imperfect and incomplete Genetic blends With uncertain ends On a fortune hunt That's far too fleet...

BestIKenster Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Imagine a time when it all began In the dying days of a war A weapon - that would settle the score Whoever found it first Would be sure to do their worst - They always had before... Imagine a man where it all began A scientist pacing the floor In each nation - always eager to explore To build the best big stick To turn the winning trick - But this was something more... The big bang - took and shook the world Shot down the rising sun the end was begun - it would hit everyone When the chain reaction was done The big shots - try to hold it back Fools try to wish it away The hopeful depend on a world without end Whatever the hopeless may say Imagine a place where it all began They gathered from across the land To work in the secrecy of the desert sand All of the brightest boys To play with the biggest toys - More than they bargained for... Imagine a man when it all began The pilot of "Enola Gay" Flying out of the shockwave on that August day All the powers that be, and the course of history, Would be changed for evermore...

BestIKenster Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 In the constellation of Cygnus There lurks a mysterious, invisible force The Black Hole Of Cygnus X-1 Six Stars of the Northern Cross In mourning for their sister's loss In a final flash of glory Nevermore to grace the night... 1 Invisible To telescopic eye Infinity The star that would not die All who dare To cross her course Are swallowed by A fearsome force Through the void To be destroyed Or is there something more? Atomized - at the core Or through the Astral Door - To soar... 2 I set a course just east of Lyra And northwest of Pegasus Flew into the light of Deneb Sailed across the Milky Way On my ship, the 'Rocinante' Wheeling through the galaxies, Headed for the heart of Cygnus Headlong into mystery The x-ray is her siren song My ship cannot resist her long Nearer to my deadly goal Until the Black Hole - Gains control... 3 Spinning, whirling, Still descending Like a spiral sea, Unending Sound and fury Drowns my heart Every nerve Is torn apart....

BestIKenster Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I said I played this song so many times before That the melody keeps repeating Growing new ideas, flowing chords and notes Like a mountain river bleeding Well, I say as I look back at all the thoughts I've had They reflect just what I'm learning Yes, you know that the hardest part, yes, I say it is to stay on top On top of a world forever churning Well, you say you can laugh, but I can see that your eyes are glass Well, do you see, can't you see, what I'm feeling? Yes, I've seen your face before Why, I've seen it everywhere Showing up to me without a scent revealing Well, I said will it ever change? Will it stay the same? I'd surely like to know before it's over Well, I said I played some I said it won't be long Won't be long before I stop and play it over You know I've, I've seen your face before Is it ever gonna, ever gonna change again? Oh, oh, I've, I've been in one place too long Is it ever gonna, ever gonna change again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestIKenster Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I've stood upon my mountaintop and shouted at the sky walked above the pavement with my sense amplified - I get this feeling all my nerves are naked wires tender to the touch sometimes super-sensitive but who can care too much? - I get this feeling scars of pleasure scars of pain atmospheric changes make them sensitive again each emotional injury leaves behind its mark sometimes they come tumbling out like shadows in the dark - I get this feeling when I think about all I have seen and all I'll never see when I think about the people who have opened up to me - I get this feeling snow falls deep around my house and holds the winter light I've heard the lions hunting in the Serengeti night - I get this feeling forests turned to factories and river, sea, and sky hungry child in the desert and the flies that cloud her eyes - I get this feeling Pleasure leaves a fingerprint As surely as mortal pain In memories they resonate And echo back again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestIKenster Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Driving away to the east, and into the past History receeds in my rear-view mirror Carried away on a wave of music down a desert road Memory humming at the heart of a factory town All my life I've been workin' them angels overtime Riding and driving and living So close to the edge Workin' them angels - Overtime Riding through the Range of Light to the wounded city Filling my spirit with the wildest wish to fly Taking the high road to the wounded city Memory strumming at the heart of a moving picture All this time I've been workin' them angels overtime Riding and driving and flying Just over the edge Workin' them angels - Overtime Driving down the razor's edge 'tween the past and the future Turn up the music and smile Get carried away on the songs and stories of vanished times Memory drumming at the heart of an English winter Memories beating at the heart of an African village Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arleen2112 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 "To seek the sacred river Alph To walk the caves of ice To break my fast on honeydew And drink the milk of Paradise..." I had heard the whispered tales of immortality The deepest mystery From an ancient book I took a clue I scaled the frozen mountain tops of eastern lands unknown Time and Man alone Searching for the lost Xanadu Xanadu... To stand within the Pleasure Dome Decreed by Kubla Khan To taste anew the fruits of life The last immortal man To find the sacred river Alph To walk the caves of ice Oh, I will dine on honeydew And drink the milk of Paradise A thousand years have come and gone but time has passed me by Stars stopped in the sky Frozen in an everlasting view Waiting for the world to end, weary of the night Praying for the light Prison of the lost Xanadu Xanadu... Held within the Pleasure Dome Decreed by Kubla Khan To taste my bitter triumph As a mad immortal man Nevermore shall I return Escape these caves of ice For I have dined on honeydew And drunk the milk of Paradise Or is it Paradise??
