Aram Stefanian Poems

While together, nothing's gonna make you lose your cool.
Under Manhattan sky, you ain't sure if it's illusion or verity,
Yet uptight about acid mung turning you into an alien entity.

''Found pieces of Jennifer's body, just relax...''
Was playing on the radio, and she failed to remember the rock star
When realized that she was speeding to the max

With my head gently bowed, and say, ''Namaste''
To worship the deity within you, like the occult art
To reach in and touch the Self it's the most direct way

A boring daily routine compels you to get stoned silly
You are sick and tired of bucking the hopeless odds

To which I clung fast, and we took our space flight
After passing rapidly thru nebulous gelid rings
The gloom was replaced by a blazing unearthly light

Puzzled to find no soul, he blamed himself for being late
After passing, he was supposed with your soul to go steady
Guiding it in the right direction, through the heaven's gate
