about

Mostly, I am a peace loving person. However, in this world it can get dark, meaning there are forces that interfere with our understanding of peace. And so it has been in my life. That is when I am not opposed to showing the animal in me. There are occasions when I deem it to be necessary. That darkness aids in giving me insight to the regions of my mind which sheds light on ideas such as true equality. When pursued honestly it leads to an understanding of justice. I wrote this when I was twenty seven. I had a youthful exuberance. Even as an older man I feel that animal in me lurking beneath the surface. It is that animal that stands brave and opposes all thoughts which do not conform to universal good.

lyrics

It’s so dark I cannot see.
Tension caused by the animal in me.
Glazed eyes, frothing at the mouth.
Driven by an anger lurking near about.
I cannot talk, only breathe.
Backed to a corner is the animal in me.
I’m wild, you can’t take me alive.
Don’t try to tame the animal in me.
And so my life has run to seed.
Inspiring the animal in me.
Cold sweat, bearing teeth.
Far into the regions of insanity.
I cannot dream, only feed.
Devouring the animal in me.
I’m mad, you have now been warned.
Into a rage goes the animal in me.
Don’t try to tame the animal in me
