" AND THE WORLD SPINS ON..."

Human innocence has ruffled
My carefully clipped wings
In flight toward a utopian understanding
Where the long "O" sound
In his finest Socratic vowels
So comfortable in this bliss, is this
And the world spins on...

Yes, the world spins on
Through the Eagle and the Beetle
Both sacred to separate cultures
But very much the same....

Yes, the world spins on
Through science and metaphysics
Both, sacred to many men
I just pray that we're able to blend them
To keep the world spinning
On it's axis
Where politics and religion
Finally
Relaxes...
