miracle man on the run

so much love
in such a small person
i see these kids and i just wish
i could entertain them , love them , be with them
always . kids are so beautiful - they make me happy
and i wonder how we can turn our hearts so cold
as to yell at them to shutup , stop asking
when we ourselves , haven't asked
enough .

why would a miracle man run ?
shortcomings ; failures ; fears .
miracle man - capital lights
- and i can't see anything

in a different world ; women have acid thrown on their faces
and reading the news i wanted to cry ; this woman , horridly disfigured
by her own HUSBAND can live and say that beauty is within
can stand up and show her face ; old and new

one moment we are beautiful , one moment we are not
how can that be ? it isn't right
one moment we are beautiful , the next moment we are still
and even more . moments come and moments go
that's what makes them kodaks so amazing ; they'll never come back !
see like them miracle men ; failures , fears .

i feel that when they are beside me they are safe
not true , as buildings fall and quicksand isn't real
sometimes there are dark shadows dining with us
we make room for them , we let them take our very lives

" very lives " - live like a miracle man ; fears .

i think time doesn't even exist or work anymore
i mean , the clock doesn't measure anything but minutes and hours
and those don't even EXIST don't even WORK . we made them up ; we did !
a week can zoom by but the four second drop can last at least you swear five minutes
time doesn't exist . we make our lives up . one more second ?
we are gone .

which reminds me :
