SURVIVING  THE  SCROLL

Poem by Kelly Daub
Music by Anthony Aguilar
CLICK ARROW TO LISTEN

See what they’re doing,

see what they’ve done.

Scroll,

         scroll,

                 scroll.

that looks fun.

Jealousy, longing, hope, strife.

keep pressing forward,

stay alive.

See how they’re living,

see how they’ve lived.

Scroll,

         scroll,

                 scroll.

what I would give

Admiration, desperation, sadness, dive,

slow spiral downward.

stay alive.

See what they’re creating,

see what they’ve made.

Scroll,

         scroll,

                 scroll.

you have what it takes.

Establish, innovate, distraction, denied,

sink into darkness.

survive, survive.
