The Lifting Of The Veil

When he coughs out the lump in his throat, how surprised is he to see it is an eyeball
That leaps out of his mouth and lands on red saffron, rolls out of his life for about twenty seasons.
It travels the oyster in seats made of leather, and rolls on the beaches of the Easter island.
So he follows its trace across the five oceans, and when he finally finds it, it says:

“Well I might not be there for the lifting of the veil, but I don’t need to see the end
I’ve had the twenty first century breathing down my neck and I could hardly stand the stench
All I’ve witnessed it creates is distortions of the self, so remember this my friend:
Integrity’s what remains once everything else has left”

“I’ve played Chopin’s Waltz to the people but people have become so good at hearing without listening.
They value possessions and forget their freedom when nothing is explained but everything is given.
I’ve been cheated on, betrayed and lied to, and left with hardly anything to believe in.
Half your world is a war-zone the other half asleep. Remember the line in The Queen is Dead?”

“Well I might not be there for the lifting of the veil, but I don’t need to see the end
I’ve had the twenty first century breathing down my neck and I could hardly stand the stench
All I’ve witnessed it creates is distortions of the self, so remember this my friend:
Integrity’s what remains once everything else has left”
