the regular journey

each time the message changes but the intent is the same
there's nothing here that alters our opinions or desires
the whole thing's an instantiation of the greatest game

making an effort matters it suffices to banish shame
yet it makes a noted difference if one employs or fires
each time the message changes but the intent is the same

we've seen the very beginnings the first crude wooden frame
on the hard soil there are still the marks of tyres
the whole thing's an instantiation of the greatest game

the forest looms before us it looks wild but is quite tame
the sun in its daily travels reaches the branches and expires
each time the message changes but the intent is the same

in each week's journey we find change has made its claim
the action we don't see invisible to us are the wires
the whole thing's an instantiation of the greatest game

there's no intent no responsibility no one to apportion blame
we laugh and smile yet know that they were liars
each time the message changes but the intent is the same
the whole thing's an instantiation of the greatest game
