Philosophical

This song, this hymn, 
To all those left behind, 
Not hues in the greater picture 
But I am here to remind 
That the pretty colors of stability 
Grow dull and fade with time. 
 
That rhythm stays on repeat 
So the songs of life in you, 
Need be the same notes 
Not a different shade of blue, 
Follow the poets, write the same lines 
For you can be one too! 
 
Let the freak inside you smile 
And paint with ugly strokes, 
Be the ones left behind 
Seeing the beauty in the smoke, 
The flames carried by the generic 
And not us original blokes.

For those who stand in the shadows
