Good Tears

We are betting against nature
We are Uprooting trees
We Put flower pots out
on our neighbourhood streets
Dogs poop on them
like us
On these gods
Legends from the past
Disappear ever since
we stopped
javelin hunting dear

It drives tears into my eyes
Feeling us suffer
like we are stuck in a buffer
Instead
listen to water flowing down a stream
moving pebbles shaping our dreams

Brother help me to believe in you
In you and your purpose
i am sure you are worth it.

Till then we take a step back
slow down that spiralling
viral thing?
It is a collective challenge
one alone cannot not manage
it is complex in context
its context is complex

It drives tears into my eyes
Feeling us suffer
like we are stuck in a buffer
Instead
listen to water flowing down a stream
moving pebbles shaping our dreams

We build our life on river sand
landscape threatened by our hands
We turn em into deserts
growing monoculture lettuce
Tasteless like a covid tongue
by now we should be wronged

It drives tears into my eyes
Feeling us suffer
like we are stuck in a buffer
Instead
listen to water flowing down a stream
moving pebbles shaping our dreams

Pebbles shaping our dreams
Water flowing river streams

Lets not bet against nature
Lets not uproot trees
Yeah lets still put flowers out
on our neighbourhood streets
Dogs no need to poop on them
we don’t poop on these gods
Legends from the past
Disappeared?
Have you really asked?

We build our life on river sand
landscape threatened by our hands
We turn em into deserts
growing monoculture lettuce
Tasteless like a covid tongue
by now we should be wronged

Lets turn that one around no?
Lets turn it around
I do enjoy this sound!

Brother I believe in you
In you and your purpose
I know you are worth it
I took a step back
Slowed down
Still spiralling
Is it a viral thing

I take the collective challenge
I am alone still i can manage

I see the complex in context
Dont mind the context being complex

I just sit down
listen to water flowing down a stream
moving pebbles shaping my dreams

I discovered my tears are good tears
