withinyouwithoutyou

we were talking
about the space between us all
and the people
who hide themselves behind a wall
of illusion
never glimpse the truth
then it's far too late
when they pass away

we were talking
about the love we all could share
when we find it
to try our best to hold it there
with our love, with our love
we could save the world, if they only knew

try to realize it's all within yourself
no one else can make you change
and to see you're really only very small
and life flows on within you and without you

we were talking
about the love that's gone so cold
and the people
who gain the world and lose their soul
they don't know
they can't see
are you one of them

when you've seen beyond yourself
then you may find, peace of mind is waiting there
and the time will come when you see we're all one
and life flows on within you and without you

Trick or Treat

I found myself tending to the kids trick-or-treating on Halloween. Wearing full scarface gear, scar, machine gun and everything. I'm playing San Andreas while listening to Odd future in my living room greeting any child at my doorstep with tricks and treats. I should include one slight detail: I'm tripping balls. Interacting with children has been proven to be both amusing and difficult. Amusing because most kids don't know who scarface is so I put on a cop hat and tell 'em I'm working' for da county sheriff's office. *wink/nudge* and I give me a flick of my wrist like Paul Muni in the 1932 scarface. The difficult part is when your forced to reason with these 12 year old rascals. They ask "trick or treat?" like they don't really know what their asking for. I, of coarse respond "treat!" and give them some candy while my hallucinating brain is still trying to grasp the "trick" aspect of the question. because they're a ton of tricks going on in my head. And who pulls tricks anymore these days? What if someone responded back to the kids like "TRICK!" then grabbed em and kidnapped em. That's what is really going on in my head while I'm telling kids to grab some candy and shit.
