Down to Earth
Matt DeckerFound on Earth
Aground on Earth
Bound to Earth --
World of birth
World of worth?
Why my birth
On this Earth?
A bandit planet
A manic planet
Planet of panic
Need some bandage --
Somehow I fell
Into a Hell
A special Hell
For a spell --
The Milky Way
Where I stay
So far away
From the home
Where I belong
This feels wrong
I feel alone --
Low on chances
How many chances
Will be granted?
To be candid
I feel stranded
Hopelessly abandoned
Even empty-handed --
Day to day
(As they say)
A fated castaway --
Must break away
To brighter day
Light of day --
My feet planted
On this planet
Marked and branded
Was it random?
Is it phantom?
Here I landed
Why here landed?
God planned it --
A new understanding
Consciousness expanded
A better handle
A brighter candle --
Down to Earth?
Up to North
North of Earth --
I stand up
And look up
For backup --
Help is up.
