(MANAS) - TRANSUBSTANTIATIONS XX:
HAPPY
(PART I)
Eichwalde, April 7th/9th, 2007 - P#385
my dear,
you say you're happy
yet you don't look it
you say life's good
yet it has you seem desperate
you say you got lucky
you sure need to work for it
you say all is right
but pain holds you down
you hope things have changed
you hope things are better
you hope it'll work
you hope, life's begun
well, 'xcept in birth, life doesn't start, it just is
and in this being, there's nothing for certain
and "stages" all reached
are meaningless
for all is change
and all is difference
and transformation:
and all understanding is transient at best
if think you, that's it, no ending's in sight,
if think you, to want means to have,
if think you, people will change so whole-heartedly,
if think you, happiness comes to you from the outside,
think again
hope again
say again
you're happy
but this time, with feeling
does match it your spin?
