lyrics

To know that you know nothing is
to choose to be everything you wanna be.

A ripple of faith in the murky waters of love
can set a tsunami of compassion flooding
down upon the gaping holes of desperation
that we as a people have sunken into.

Now I ain’t talking about, the faith
faith in the word god or the thought of
Jesus christ allah buddha the savior the sanctifier
the holy roller, the worlds best bowler.

No, I’m talking about a little bit of faith
faith in the power of pure poetry.
Yes folks, pure poetry
simple and unclean.

No hallmark card crap-o-la
but the core essence of
the rhythm and the rhyme
our give and take
pushing back and forth
exploding moments in time.

It’s through the power of
pure poetry I tell you
that we can overcome the humdrum
the half assed
the highbrow
the sullen and studied
cramped up
culture carnivores.

I’m talking about the tongues tango
with the dirty talk
of the persuance of purity without sanctity,
in the word
in the utterance of speech
fearless of the stutter
as we flutter our poetical flag.

A warning to the world
to beware to beware
of false poets
who preech that they, know it.

For I know that I know nothing
therefore I can be everything
I choose to be.

So saith the poet
So dig it, my flock.

about

The Irrational Library Haarlem, Netherlands

“A halo on a razor edge, a remix of parallel times, the ludicrous sincerity of rhythm keeping the paces of joy and pain in synch. The Irrational Library’s is that score that settles the score for the under-scored.”
