Urban Ostrich
I’m infinitely curious but equally breakable
Too soft to bury a truth unmistakable
So I search for the truth but then swaddle a lie
Why stare into hell when you could hide in the sky?
My faith is a phone I dropped down the gutter
When clarity honks my exhaust pipes sputter
Burrowing as deep in the sand as the buildings are tall
Seeing everything demands feeling nothing at all
So I plead with the concerte at discovery’s end
Spray graffiti to persuade the cement to bend
But all that echos is a warning from innocence’s ghost:
“Those who question the least are content with the most”
My curiosity’s quest was to uncover the light
But it’s unsafe to walk home starless at night
Turns out reality is harder to face than to find
God bless the power of a euthanized mind
