Spoken Gem

Elect yourself to a spoken gem
That might pass, uncelebrated and missed
Elect yourself to a spoken gem
Raise your glass and celebrated and missed
And celebrated and missed
And celebrated and missed
Elect yourself to a spoken gem
Banter lives, when you have ceased to exist
Pull up a chair for a spoken gem
Ask its name, and no-one yet can resist
Elect yourself to a spoken gem
Silicon will capture its fleeting bliss
And no-one yet can resist
And no-one yet can resist
And celebrate it and missed
And celebrate with a list
And celebrate with a list
Make them suffer, hear them splutter
Make them bluster aimlessly
Therein lies immortality
In the folly of the enemy
Don’t you freeze your head or eyeballs
You’re embodied virtually
There’s an army, blessed army
Sells redemption jokingly
The future and the past will bloom
You needn’t even leave your room
A title coined for a spoken gem
Candles lit on every screen that fits
Pull up a chair for a spoken gem
Slim Panatellas, now lung disease won’t exist
So celebrate with your fists
And celebrate it and missed
Pull out the lungs from a spoken gem
Miracles will spill direct from its lips
You cannot induce a spoken gem
Educate, no mandate it to exist
The past is balm to a spoken gem
That might pass for something which did exist
But won’t pass and won’t be missed
A future bent and adrift
For sadness can be such bliss
Annihilate this and this
And celebrate it and missed
And fantasise this and this
Now nostalgia has fists
