Millennium of Insight

Take five
Your own time
Watch
A millennium passes by

In no time
Like crime
Completes us all
Even as we try

No twists, lemon, lime
Nothing
Nothing to deny

So sudden gone your pride
The easy reach
A piece of sky

And so like a sideshow attraction
We make the uppitimy
Of observing sanity
Seem like regularity

And then pale in comparison

Inside your world of light
Risk it all
Or running high

What's the question
Is the answer right
The easy cause as yet untried

Prime yourself for a fool's delight
As ignorance steals away
Your private status
An unearthly might

You're history
Overnight

So much at stake
So high a price
Just a sweet state of mind

One survives
Another dies
Becomes another step left behind

Rush of town
Dries your cries
Seems to struggle undignified

Take five
Your own time
And watch the millennium of insight

And so like a sideshow attraction
We make the uppitimy
Of observing sanity
Seem like regularity

And then pale in comparison

And as a generation's peace
Being gyroed will cease
All numbers decrease

Like time through our fingers
It lingers like pain
Fleeting on the train of thought
You cannot make the stay awake

And it's all done in pursuit of happiness anyway
