World Leader Pretend
The world becomes stranger still in the night
As the chess pieces move without a board to guide them
There are no rules, no pacts, no contracts
Only minutes and seconds and feelings and thoughts,
Then, in those moments we discover our metal.
Where is our courage in the face of bewilderment?
In the face of nausea and aggravated discontent?
We kiss, tacit agreements do not exist in the cement
That underwent sleeplessness, conquering those
Senseless longings that, without purpose, took too long to satisfy.
I have no idea what holds motion together,
How one moment becomes the next how meanings
And feelings seem to rattle randomly inside
Our minds and hearts, just a will to instinct I guess
To over come the human by forgetting ourselves.
But sometimes instinct appears all too human what then?
The answers fade into the unspoken fears,
That by being overcome turn pawns into Kings and Queens
That by being overwhelmed turn neglected moments
Into unforgettable and intricate affections!
No time to question every motive and every desire
Only enough time to give into the instincts
Without considering the more moral passions
More and more I am convinced that the enemy of man
Is this: Fear, weakness and dependence.
In their absence we find ourselves courageous, strong and independent
The long roads seem more easily traveled
We become less anxious in the face of the unknown
The nameless has less a hold on the gates of our homes
And together or alone, we find ourselves crushing the gods.
