In Another Life

Let me into this impossible dream And know how not to know just what that means Except to think of all that might be seen In another life No position, ladder or pit No response correct or unfit Except where evenly sacrifice split In another life In another life Level field, what goal is the game? Any answer, the question remains To flourish and without expansion or gain? In another life In another life No love go undiscovered in hate Or disadvantage in tragic state No delusion about what is great In another life In another life Humiliation, nor private distress Breed and obedience nor deviant No sway in praise over in incense In another life In another life Power seen in true and clear light Loss unburdened, in natural flight Nothing to have, no reason to fight In another life In another life In another life Black, brown, red, blue, yellow, green and white Seen and understood in each its own right And how freely goes a child at night In another life In another life In another life No word sent to distract or devise Smokescreen, lightning, filler or guise As in distance and closeness alike In another life In another life There's no intelligent test in class No touch too soft or too crass But physically possible one's head up one's ass In another life In another life What use grafting sport to art? Like pulling horse from cart Just confusion about whole and part In another life In another life None imprisoned by the word free No fool falling for what they believe Endless chances between you and me In another life In another life In another life For the rape of mind, body and earth And the animals of engineered worth The seed of greed dissolved in thirst In another life In another life In another life No rhyme of any cost or expense Beats a rhythm born of defense True disharmony right here on the fence In another life In another life In another life Beyond the choice of create or destroy Inherit, steal, gift or employ Fair is far too small a word we'd enjoy In another life In another life In another life So hold a promise no bigger than two hands Hope scaled and re-read in human And not reduced to a list of demands In another life In another life In another life
