Play Your Role
Don't get all stressed out. It's all there in the bigger plan. Relax and ride the wave of karma.
It’s all good
even when it ain’t.
Even when your ship doesn’t come in
even when your flush doesn’t
hit on the river,
even when your car won’t start
or your wife left you
or the check isn’t
in the mail.
It’s all good.
Black or white.
Victor or vanquished.
Golden spoon or no spoon.
Judge or just the janitor.
It’s all good.
We just play our role
and it makes no sense
struggling in our chains
when we don’t even know
why we’re here or really
what’s going on.
Latent structure rules obvious structure.
We live blind playing in a game
of incomplete information.
So laugh.
I guarantee you
the universe
Krisha
the great Kahuna in the sky
and those sentient atoms
swirling all around
are
all laughing at you
or even if they aren’t
it’s all good.
We don’t know shit.
Just be glad to
still be here
standing naked
a disfigured, misinformed ape
40 lbs overweight
in the middle
of an empty room
alone
before the mirror of time.
It’s all good.
Even when it ain’t.
