Hilikus

About a hundred years ago now
 Thought I was left for dead
 Soliloquy, she was my
 A picture, a wake
 My metaphoric friend
 So then I fell in love with
 An irony named Life
 It taught me this from that and
 A picture, a wake
 You're gonna be hilikus
 History has a tendency
 To block out the popular beliefs
 About the leaders of the time
 So glisten with my syllables
 And ponder the thought
 Maybe they should have
 Had to dedicate more to it, go
 You've got to be
 So good to be
 You've got to be hilikus
 So I took a walk out side
 With my new found friend
 And the knowledge imbibe
 I figured I'd find another
 With the same attitude
 Yes, then maybe I could talk
 To someone other than myself
 The doors are swinging wide open
 A positive attitude
 And the ilk in my pocket
 Had a lot to do
 With my new found friend
 The hilikus
 History has a tendency
 To block out the popular beliefs
 About the leaders of the time
 So glisten with my syllables
 And ponder the thought
 Maybe they should have
 Had to dedicate more to it, go
 You've got to be
 So good to be
 You've got to be hilikus
 You've got to be hilikus
 You've got to be hilikus
 You've got to be hilikus
 You've got to be hilikus
 History has a tendency
 To block out the popular beliefs
 About the leaders of the time
 So glisten with my syllables
 And ponder the thought
 Maybe they should have
 Had to dedicate more to it, go
 You've got to be
 So good to be
 You've got to be hilikus
 You've got to be hilikus
 You've got to be hilikus
 You've got to be hilikus
 You've got to be hilikus
 So good to be hilikus
 So good to be hilikus
 So good to be hilikus
 So good to be hilikus
