Far Away
I grew my skin in Africa The continent shared with me the savage Next to the creek I grew up I found the marvel of the forest I learned the meaning of my name I am he who supplants from the woods And in my time here I have found none Humanity behind me lies dead like the past At this moment I am as dead as I will be There is no hope for the future For even there we are all dead But we like to bark all important Taking stakes and making claims I speak from my ego I want to make my case Like it matters at all A contradictive mess from the grave But I may tell you verily That it is from my emptiness That I do share The revelations with which I leave you For even though I am as dead as you I still do care My mind is not mine Neither is my body I reject them all like I do myself To not stand there pretending to humble So that you would exalt me So I take the shortcut to power And that like a wolf in sheep's clothing I would stand there and muse at the stars Thinking myself totally worthy For the notion of travelling towards them Alas, before the end comes I will once again Be here behind my communication device Trying to convince you with my garbage That what I am telling you is not a waste of time
