Story Tellers

[sonofthesun]

Do they believe themselves?
Their make believe pretend?
It may sound good In their head
But without an audience
Does it still sound the same?
It’s hard to make up truths
When no one is listening

[winddance]

on and on
life stories and rerun glories
shouted into the wind
in hopes
someone will hear
like a note in a bottle
washed up
on an empty beach

[saw]

your perceptions
are your reality
your awareness
isn't like mine
how could it be
you say shit
I think shit
it's all in the game

[winddance]

you say tomato
I think
did they really
use ketchup
for blood
in old movies
flickering perceptions
in black and white
or grey

[sonofthesun]

Make believe pretend.
What once,
we told children,
is not real.
Has now become truth.
If it’s what they want you to hear.
It’s Santa Claus
It the booger man
It’s im too weak to know for myself.
It’s insanity wholesale.

No need for elucidation.
Good shit is good shit
Swallow it like vitamins.
Might not be helpful.
But…everyone else is doing it…
So I say “hell yeah!”

Finding truth in bottle caps
And discarded kittens.
What did Jesus say?
Fear let’s one accept the worst
When you don’t realize
We all have something important to share
