Time.
Passage of events from one point to another.
This passage doesn't have to be.
Clocks lie.
Grass can sit still.
The sky can move.
Leaves can fly.
My mind can fly.
Stop the idiotism.
Stop this passage of time.
Stop the lies.
Start again.
Start without pain.
Start without gas.
Start without you.
Start without clocks.
You'll need lights.
And dark for sometimes,
So save some science for that.
Get rid of the rest.
I know you like examples,
Try going outside and sitting.
Sit and think.
Don't bring a watch.
Watch the grass sit still.
Watch the sky move.
Watch leaves fly.
Let your mind fly.
And then you'll see.
How the world should be.
How life should be.
Without clocks.

Bare Thoughts.
A careful balance
All's good on both sides
Warm and cool
By nature's laws abides
A seat in the shade
Wind through the spot
Life as it should be
Couldn't be held together by a knot
A breath, a thought
Let it in you,
Understand it
But you don't really have to
Perfection in nature
Imperfection in the world
But I sit here and smile
Behind a tree, a forest
Behind a wave, a sea
A rustle is a sound
And colors run around me
Bare feet on grass
Bare thoughts in the sky
This moment stretches on
But be ready to say goodbye
Nothing like this last forever
But still the breeze, still the air
Time ends, balance tipped
At least I saw it happen, so I leave without a care
Perfection in nature
Imperfection in the world
But I sit here and smile
All's good on both sides
Warm and cool
By nature's laws abides
A seat in the shade
Wind through the spot
Life as it should be
Couldn't be held together by a knot
A breath, a thought
Let it in you,
Understand it
But you don't really have to
Perfection in nature
Imperfection in the world
But I sit here and smile
Behind a tree, a forest
Behind a wave, a sea
A rustle is a sound
And colors run around me
Bare feet on grass
Bare thoughts in the sky
This moment stretches on
But be ready to say goodbye
Nothing like this last forever
But still the breeze, still the air
Time ends, balance tipped
At least I saw it happen, so I leave without a care
Perfection in nature
Imperfection in the world
But I sit here and smile
Smaller Than An Ant
What if we're wrong?
If we aren't supposed to be here?
If the world isn't ours?
If we're just really lucky?
We might just be privileged.
Might just be given a taste.
Might have to accept that.
Might be repercussions to our actions.
We may actually have made mistakes.
We may be smaller than an ant.
We may dumber than that bird.
We may not be God.
We can't do everything.
Can't solve everything.
Can't balance all.
Can't be nature.
We can do some things though!
Kill with a full stomach!
Poison water for everyone!
Destroy!

See What You Didn't Make.
It doesn't matter who I am.
It doesn't really matter what I do.
This'll all flow.
This'll all continue.
Peace in hustle.
Action in rest.
It'll stay that way,
It doesn't care where you build your nest.
Cement steps lead to a door
They'll be there if you're not.
They'll be there if you are.
That's what I was taught.
So don't make it difficult;
Just stop this ridiculous fight.
What has to happen will
You have to know I'm right.
Want proof? Want the truth?
Look around the outside.
See what's happening.
See what you didn't make.
Keep your dirty hands away,
Things will turn out right.
But even if you go to make this harder
It still might.
