5500 Years From Home

In addition to the 250 plus Lyrical Pieces that I have written and received Copyright Protection from the Library Of Congress - I have, also, written a Novel (copyrighted but not Published) entitled 5500 Years From Home. I am currently working on a 2nd Book entitled The Island that I am about 1/2 the way towards completion, at this date.

I have decided to, occasionally, post excerpts from 5500 Years From Home in this Blog space.

Today, we peruse the 1985 set up song.

Enjoy !

5500 years from home

1
recent memory identifies
spinning through gravitational skys
instruments misreading data base
collapsed star sucking all of the space
static reactor crashes to the ground
atmospheric qualities have been found

1a
i am so afraid
i don't know what land i have found
i am so afraid
i've got to get out on the ground
i am so afraid
i've got to have a look around

2
as i crawl away from the crash
my life could end in a flash
strange creatures are surrounding me
i' m loosing all my energy
and now there is nothing i can do
they have me - i'm through

2b
i am so lonely
far far away from my home
i am so lonely
lying on a table made of chrome
i am so lonely
lying under this lighted dome

3
my eyes are blurred but i plainly see
i'm in a room marked m.d.
my body seems to be intact
although there's pain in my back
a calendar shows december 1998
which surely describes my ultimate fate

3c
i am lost
5500 years from my time
i am lost
from the year 7499
i am lost
in 1999
