Directory of Lost Causes

I'm still writing a ridiculous number of lyrics, and only a few of them are finding their way onto my blog. Here is one of the latest I have penned:

National Treasure

I am a national treasure
Like a rainforest that contains
Medicine beyond measure.

Creativity
Drips from me
Like sap from a tree.

Why be shy?
I’m a national treasure.
But no one will know
Till I’m buried forever.

I am art. I am culture.
When I’m dead,
Then descend the vultures.

I’m a national treasure
Like a bird of paradise
With priceless bright feathers.

Creativity
Drips from me
Like sap from a tree.

Why deny it?
I’m a national treasure.
But no one will say so
Till I’m buried forever.

I am art. I am culture.
When I’m dead,
Then descend the vultures.
