NO RESTRAINTS ON US

 

There would be no restraints on us

We would love each other regardless

If she walked into a room, it was hers

If a bird sang a lovely tune

It was aimed at her

And when sun came out

She outshone it

In a contest old Sol conceded

         Well, we are nothing if not ego

         For who drives this body

         And who seeks its rewards

         And why are we running so fast

         That the pulse of life can be deeply felt?

Perhaps the wind will reveal its motive

Or the cat tell its sly story

But if we are left to our own devices

We were so full of energy and drive

That the difference between us and others

Was a mile wide

A chasm, and we were on one side

And way over there unreachable

Was the rest of humanity

Just barely able to see us

Through the fog that love produces

Its own camouflage

People look, squint, sort of see,

But they never really see

No, we are almost invisible

Reflective of all ill will

And thus impervious

To negative influence

And the conductivity of greed and envy
