(un)Settling (performed with the ex-optimists – settling)

Settling and settling and settling 
Settling  in to the unsettling sound
The on and on and on drone,
The twitch, twitch, screech,
The prowling paranoia, 
This –my friends- is the disturbing din of Discordia 
...The unsettling settling in – reaching out from the rafters of time,
-- A claw screeching across our chalkboard mind.
This is the unsettling settling in – all before us – 
The cacophony of chaos ringing out, forever and forever,

Unsettling and unsettling and unsettling 
Let's turn instead, settle down to the settling sound,
The ring of right from wrong -
of sound from fury,
the crack of dawn from din, 
of symphony from cacophony 
Break free from the unsettling and 
Settle into something pure, something passionate,
Settle into the lyre – the lute –
The ordered lines and notes – 
The beaming eyes and beating hearts…
.
The settling down. 
That settling sound. 
Settling down.
Settling down.
