The Rainman’s Chorus




 

When you hear eight bells toll

you will remember the rainman

When you hear thr ocean’s call

you will remember the rainman.

But what of now?

Here and no, at this very moment

Do you think of the pretentious bastard then?

Nay, you do not!

And what is more why should you?

A common piece of filth he is

Just a form of pestilence.

Self-deprecatory

Judgemental

Self-obsessed

Suicidal

You thank your Gods

for not being the rainman!

Afflicted

Possessed

Perverted

Useless

The lowest form of pestilence

has more use than the rainman.

Not drowning in misery

Not neck deep in hate

Just taking things to be arbitrary

An observer of Fate.

My dark side is my own

I give you but a glimpse of it

A darkness common to all

I but have the gall to present it

Ignore me if you please

But weep for me not

I swim not in a pool of darkness

I do not meander in the fog

Be revolted. Be disgusted

And I’ll smile with impunity!

I dwell in the highest peaks of solitude

Firm with belief in my sanity.

So do not preach to me about light

For I do see it from the Dark

Waste not your sympathy

I’m as happy as a lark!

You need to cry before you smile

To be pained to be painless

To be diseased to be healthy

To be sad just to be happy

And that’s why I dwell in the Darkness

To believe in the promise of reality...............
