Bora born
Life in a bottle _
Empty vessels make most rattle
on lost ships without a rudder
in a glass half filled with water
closed in by beliefs to order.
ALL sail on around in circles
back to front with all pretenders
none can see they're in a blender
with a lid no one remembers.
Sealed in like that frog in water
with a lid to seal the pressure
will they know it's getting warmer
as the water becomes hotter.
Bet bucks they won't they're sealed right in
inside those pressure ships of tin
blind as bats they'll just sail right on
until she turns the blender on.
