Absent Minded
Lives as amusement park rides
How do i word this?
how would it work?
I suppose you take someone
and make their life a ride!
maybe one day someone special will live it
maybe put them on a spotlight
an underground spotlight
where wherever they go they are the sore thumb sticking out
and everyone knows its them
ok not everyone
but those employed to make their life a ride will!
maybe when their down on their luck
they are conspired agains tto buy a winning scratch and win ticket?
maybe when they need a hug
someone calls up their best friend and says call your buddy
maybe there is a team pof people lookin gout for you
singing you songs and writing poetry in your honour
but the fact remains that one day somehow
we will turn several lives into rides
and make it alike a game of tag
one person on the spotlight
and the spotlight can be passed on
the singers and musicians and actors and millionaires enslaved
to be the humbled crowd of watching poverty throughout the day
to be your bodyguards
as they conspire to find ways to help you better yourself
and maytbe this game of passing an unknown tag
from person to person
has rules and prizes
concer tickets
and lotteries and
secret words or things they want you to do for them
anmd things they never want to see again
I know for i am a ride
I know for it spirals around me
and we paly it like tag
we fiend after it
and the radio sings to us one by one
we win lotteries and v.i.p's and get the best reservations
and sometimes we teach the humbled millionaires
of politicians and governments in this unknown act for man
that is true love unto eachother
to help one another
wether its strategicaly placing a dolloar for a poor kid to find it
or getting a good looking guy with no money a job
so he can be somebody
or helping a mentally ill poet
make a difference in his world
there is a layer out there
of wish masters
of godlike people who answer prayers
watching over us
and they truly exist
and they turn lives into rides
but the game exists
the rules are unknown to us
but can be figured out
and when you catch onto everything
you will discover
they will turn you into something then wont need them anymopre
for you will be one of them
helping the poor!
and making their life a ride
and your life will be on cruise control
and someone will still be watching you
phoning your friends and helping you have occasional interesting days
making lives rides
its like a random friday the thirteenth that never ends for one person
and gifts and rewards and puzzles and inspiration
and inside jokes
but lets no tforget the ultiamtums
and psychology and wars of the spotlight
for making a persons life a ride
is not soo easy
there are ways to do it
there are games to play
and things to do
but one day
someone special will secretly
unknown to you
and your frineds
put you on a spotlight
and you will do or say the right word
or the right thing
at the right time
and the phones will ring
and you will go out to buy a ticket
or call the radio and you will be the winner
and if you catch on to the rest of the strategy of the mensa game
your wholelife could be a ride
and then you can say hello fame!
but then you humble yourself to watch over the poor as you play
for the game has layers
and different strategies
if life is a game
it revolves around making peoples lives rides...
thats all im gonna give away!
so dream about it...
how lucky are you?
is it chance?
is it luck?
or are you a ride?
do lots of interesting things happen to you?
do you have lots of friends?
do you have lots of things to say?
does the music seem like its written subtly but directly to you?
your life could be a ride!!!!
how would it work?
I suppose you take someone
