October 22, 2008

Shattered broken species
Shivering on the edge of the great abyss
Afraid, Aware, confused
Senseless in the stream
Of Barbarian advertisements
Bombarded by the unshakable force of what it is
Reality
Utopia of mass consumption
Corporate mania
Under the carpet
The destruction of life

Get a JOB MAN
You lazy slob
What are you doing?

Find a wife
Have some kids

The bull shit lies there quietly in the grass
Staring up
The uncaring bastard

Son!
Be a success.
Get paid to afford to get old

Believe in the resurrection
Eternal life awaits as the rainforest burns

Walk to the bar sonny boy
Swallow another claw and go back to sleep

I watched my Grandfather riding a tricycle around in circles in the bright sun
In Khaki shorts with pale, fragile legs.

He had a phone number once
But that's all over now
As he smiles and rides along
Laughing in the humor of the cosmic tide
