[00:48.48]They say we are endowed with Free Will -[00:58.89]at least that justifies our need for indecision.[01:10.50]But between our insticts and the lust to kill[01:17.58]we bow our heads in submission.[01:30.90]They say that no man is an island[01:42.15]but then they say our castles are our homes;[01:53.40]it's felt the choice is ours, between peace and violence...[01:58.80]oh, yes, we choose, alone?[02:12.72]While the comet spreads its tail across the sky[02:18.93]it nowhere near defines the course it flies,[02:32.61]nor does it find its own direction.[02:49.62]Though the path of the comet be sure,[02:54.24]its constitution is not[03:00.99]so its meaning is possibly more[03:03.90]than the tracing of a tail[03:09.33]in one brief shot at glory.[03:13.38]Love and peace and individuality,[04:15.42]so order and society are man-made?[04:19.74]War and hate and dark depravity,[04:34.17]or are we slaves?[04:43.05]Channeling aggressive energies,[04:52.53]the Death Wish and the Will to survive,[05:02.49]into finding and preserving enemies,[05:09.45]is that the only way we know that we're alive?[05:23.04]In the slaughterhouse all corpses smell the same,[05:27.00]whether queens or pawns or innocents at the game;[05:44.22]in the cemetery a uniform cloaks the graves[05:52.05]except for outward pomp and circumstance.[06:04.86]There is a time set in the calendar[06:15.51]when all reason seems barely enough[06:17.73]to sustain all the shooting stars:[06:33.60]times are rough.[06:42.06]I'm waiting for something to happen here,[06:53.55]it feels as though it's long overdue...[07:04.86]maybe a restatement of yesteryear[07:13.26]or something entirely new.[07:14.61]And the knowledge that we gain in part[07:51.33]always leads us closer to the very start,[07:55.80]and to the founding questions:[08:13.74]How can I tell that the road signed to hell[08:18.87]doesn't lead up to heaven?[08:26.73]What can I say when, in some obscure way,[08:47.67]I am my own direction?
