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 more response correct or unfit
Except where evenly sacrifice split
In another life
In another life
Level field, what goal is the game?
Any answer, a 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 an obedience nor deviants
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 animal 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
