The Way Forward Tiny Pictures

If only the way forward was clear
instead, it's like watching a movie
on a faulty monitor screen
that keeps flashing on and off

If only the way forward was clear
but it's like walking through a storm
and the wind is blowing you backwards
while the rain stings your face

If only the way forward was clear
but it's like trying to see a beautiful body
through glass bricks
in a bathroom

if only the way forward, could be clear
but it's like trying to play a game
that no-one ever taught you
where the rules are always changing

If only the way forward was clear
there'd be a sign, pointing clearly
in one direction
instead of spinning in the wind

If only the way forward was clear
there'd be trails of bodies
on the paths that shouldn't be taken
piling up and blocking the way

If only the way forward was clear
then the world wouldn't sound like an orchestra
forever tuning their instrumentswhile the first note of the concert is never played

(move forward
take a couple of steps
turn right
take two steps forward again
turn left)

If only the way forward was clear
but it's like someone whispering directions
in your left ear
while another voice recites poetry in your right

If only the way forward was clear...
