The " Self " Argument Poem by Roger Snow
The " Self " Argument
And so, , ,
it came to pass
That Moment of discovery,
where, ,
we regain our past
That Moment of Recovery
where, , ,
we again Obtain
that which was first
not last, , , ,
Said Self to no one
" Can we be friends "
No one answered
" It all depends "
Self again " On what I'd like to know "
No one came back with, , ,
" The Sale of your Soul "
What Self Loving Creature
would engage such a thing
No one Promised: " Only the insane "
" I'm not Crazy, just a bit Dim "
No one complained:
" Then go, never Sin again "
Said, , ,
Go, , , never Sin again
Just go, , ,
Sin no more
as the Angels sighed a long gone Tune
The Demons cried, , , , he's left us, , far too soon, , ,
And so, , ,
Came the Mounted Man on His Steed
saying: " What for, is the Need "
Peasants answered:
" Away Stranger, take this Pail of Greed "
Shadow line upon the Ridge
where it runs clean down, ,
unto the Stone age Bridge
Shines in the Sunrise
dividing Day from Night, , ,
on a clear Morn, watch for the Knight, , ,
That Mounted Man on His Steed, , ,
The one who stole from us, , , ,
all of our Greed, , , , ,
Yea, Said GO, , , , never Sin again
Said Go, , , just Go, , ,
and Sin no more, , ,
Just leave me Friend, , ,
and try not to, , ,
slam the Door, ,
Out walks Self
into the Gathering Storm, ,
Feeling far more Crazy, ,
a bit more, , , , , out of Norm, , ,
Into the Lightning and Rain, , ,
where Clouds gather up those
who are, , ,
Certainly judged insane, , ,
Self Delusion, , , fell Ill that Day, , ,
No cure to be found in the Land
Self Delusion, , in their Crazy way, , ,
Lost their mind out of Hand, , ,
just to find it again, , ,
just West, , of No Where, , ,
That impossible Land...... ~~~~~~
Go Forth, , , and, , , Sin no more, , ,
You may be the Next Self, , ,
To Walk through that Door, , , ~~~~~~~

I esp. like: " Out walks Self into the Gathering Storm, , Feeling far more Crazy, , a bit more, , , , , out of Norm, , , but in next line did you MEAN " Lighting" or " Lightning" ? Lightning will surely...light up the sky. the poem entertained me, but my insanity is of the wrong type for me to understand it. was i supposed to? Pic: i've heard of contortionists, but 'this takes the cake" . bri :)
yes lightning, oops, typo, I'll attempt to sin no more, heh heh. ok, to understand it a bit, " Self " as well as " Self Delusion " , " Go " , " no One " are each a person/Character in the Song. it takes a bit to catch that, The style is purposed to cause the reader to say: " Stop, what? " then shake head and try again. When sung to a " High " Audience, so much fun to watch.
