Kaleidoscope from Kaleidoscope by Jack Alberson

I can't sit down, o I'm on fire
And nothing rhymes - it doesn't matter
Here's my sentence and time will tell
Broke and I'm broken and nobody knows

And the world keeps spinning, bless my soul
Through the lens and set adrift
And life is careening out of control
Turn the wheel and the colors shift

And I keep quiet, with living proof
We're powerless in the lion's mouth
A calendar, or a ticking bomb
I spoke but it's token, when the jaws have closed

And the world keeps spinning, bless my soul
Through the lens and set adrift
And life is careening out of control
Turn the wheel and the colors shift
And the world keeps spinning in reverse
Through the eyepiece, light reveals
All distractions bad to worse
In a fairytale ending I want it to be real.
