One man's in, another drinking

sharing a recent story

 

thousandth hand across the land

such is the speed of news we share

 

 another molecule of bonding

the drinking opening up the scene

 

into the time they have to spare

give us this day our daily bread

 

before the rising yeast goes slack

another way to move the human spirit on.

 

 

Just out of sight a man is alone

with his pint alight in the slumming sun

 

and no-one sees his downcast stare

witht the weight of this thoughts, his matted hair

 

As you mine your comedy gold

his story will remain untold

 

while fate casts down its ancient runes

and depression plays its endless tunes

 

the road diverging the molecules merging

another way to move the spirit on.

 

You stay within your comfort zone

the same old beer, the same old cheer

your bonds remain, you stay united

and always exclude the uninvited

 

somehow the spirit must always move along.
