There is a mental state
I strive to achieve a homeostatic state a humming a lull like those alpha wave tapes they sold in the 60's
I need to hear that in my head all day. Instead of the clanging of my thoughts and the clashing of my
wants versus what I should do need to do and the sad, bright violins from "Sunshine" so melancholy
so consistent that remind me how it is not to have anyone understand
Be Be here Be there Be that Be this Be grateful for life Be grateful to life Be gleeful everyday for being the best swimmer among 500,000 Benign Be you Be mom's bean pie Be lil' black Sambo, with bad hair Be aware of Willie Lynchism Be Be boundless energy Be a four star ghetto general Be no one except I Be food for thought to the growing mind Be the author of your own horoscope Be invited Be long living Be forgiving Be not forgetful Be a proud run, only to return to fight another day Be peaceful if possible, but justice at any rate Be high when you low Be on time with no where to go Be cautious of the road to college taking a detour through Vietnam or the Middle East Be vigil of foreclosure over your shoulder, while begging a nation built on free labor for reparation Be a cartographer, a map maker Be able to find Afro-American land, search thoroughly, it may be close to black land Be amended five fifths Be amended five fifths human Be the owner of more land than is set aside for wildlife Be cupid to world government Be found among the true lost tribe Be at full strength when walking through the valley Be not foolish as temporary king of the mountain top Be a brilliant soul sparkling in the galaxy while walking on earth Be loved by God as much as God loved Gandhi and Martin Luther King Be that last one of 144,000 Be the resident of the twelfth house Be eternal
... why aren't there more songs like this??? I am moved beyond words.
