Neptune Casts Confusion

Neptune casts confusion on my day.
What does it say?
It says you need to find the way.

How can I find the way when that same way is
Every day obscured,
Endured by those who could not make it stay?

"You have to fight."
I cannot. Might
I ask you whom I am
To fight does not make right
It makes a slight.

And journeys to forbidden lands
Encapsulate strategic plans
To strangle every living, breathing
Reason to exist.

It is not reason. Existence
Makes no sense.
We make sense.

We make existence!

We struggle on
And straggle on
And linger on
Forbidden ponds
And taste the fronds of palms and fragrant ferns
And where the worms would go did go could go
We go
And though we are not worms we once could be and
Once could be again
If we are friends
We will pretend
That we amend
And recommend
This piece of paper signing all our hearts
Away to play.

Unless we fight!
And this is right!
We will not suffer any slight!
Behold our might
And stand in awe
And stand aside
And join the call
And crow it all
And grow it tall
We will not stop
To be entranced
We will not fall
For fake romance
We will not understate the chance we have
To shatter plates of fancy chad
Cooked fresh with sprigs of mint and seeds
Of discontent about our fate
We must not wait
The time is now
We take what's ours
From those who would not let us have what's ours
And we remind them that they cease to be
When we refuse to let them be what they would be
If we would let them be.

We must be free.
And not because we say
Because we do
We can't expect another to look after what we know is right.

We have to fight.
Because they will not give us right.
We have to stand inside the light
And hold our hands up to the night
And say "No more of what you do.
Your reign is through!
Our words are true
Expressions of our hearts
And you can't stop us with your darkness
And your self-destruction.
When you hate the world
You hate yourself
Because the self is One
And All and everything is Self
And we remind you of your duty to be true.
Now we are through
And what remains for you to do
Is concentrate upon the true destruction
You have wrought upon the Self
And see that it is you."

And we will stretch the light
Across the land
From East Montana
To Japan
And back around
Until the strands
Invigorate the stars
And clams
And walruses
And pangolins
And duck-billed platypuses
Don't ya know.

And we will grow.
And we will farm our world with love
And we will sing to every dove
And we will lay down underneath the sky and sleep.

And we will cry because we almost let the living, breathing beauty die
The living breathing reason everything exists.
And now,

We believe. We must examine
Every leaf. We must advance
To our relief. We must encourage
Every reef And pass the message to the chief!

We come to play this day and say hooray
Together, you and me and if we work
Together we can make it stay.
Until the day
When we can say
We are a ray,
As one,
The sun has shined,
Begun to find,
And never mind it is the sun
We are the sun
We didn't run away
We only thought we did!

And we are here,
The water's clear,
And we can drink it.
Have some, dear.

You'll never sparkle
Any more
Than you do now.

You'll never know
Until you go
And come around.

You'll never hear
Until you listen
To the sound
Within my heart
That has a part
Inside of you
Inside of me.

And you'll be free.
And you'll agree
This is the place
That we should be.
And we'll remember
That's the way
It ought to be.
