It’s all good
\neven when it isn’t.
\nEven when your ship doesn’t come in
\neven when your flush doesn’t
\nhit on the river
\neven when your car won’t start
\nor your wife left you
\nor the check isn’t
\nin the mail.<\/p>\n
It’s all good.<\/p>\n
Black or white.
\nVictor or vanquished.
\nGolden spoon or no spoon.
\nJudge or just the janitor.
\nIt’s all good.<\/p>\n
We just play our role
\nand it makes no sense
\nstruggling in our chains
\nwhen we don’t even know
\nwhy we’re here or really
\nwhat’s going on.<\/p>\n
Latent structure rules obvious structure.
\nWe live blind playing a game of
\nincomplete information.<\/p>\n
So laugh.
\nI guarantee you
\nthe universe
\nKrisha
\nthe great Kahuna in the sky
\nthose sentient atoms
\nswirling around
\nare
\nall laughing at you
\nor even if they aren’t
\nit’s all good.<\/p>\n
We don’t know shit.
\nJust be glad to still
\nbe here
\nstanding naked
\na disfigured, misinformed ape
\n40 lbs overweight
\nstanding in the middle
\nof an empty room
\nalone
\nbefore the mirror of time.<\/p>\n
It’s all good.
\nEven when it ain’t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
