As long as the rivers flow

Life's great mystery

The cigarette tapped -
   the lights dim...
All around - shadows of the night
   make our fears come alive.
Dreams turn to nightmares
   that make our prefabricated
   reality look strange.
Indifferent, unwilling -
   they make us do what
   is demanded of us.
We order; they bark commands
   to the kitchen slaves
Eagerly - churn on life's
   great mystery -
   of who we are.

Planet evil

A rush of wind - a sound of silence.
Trees bend to and fro -
   as if waving to some supernatural
   creature.
Gastly figures only turn out to be
   the smallest woodland creature.
Our mind is only playing tricks on us.
People can do the strangest things -
   make others wonder -
     if they're even from the same planet.
