past where the lovers sit

and **** on each other's faces

And then

Rush off to write a poem about it

They call it

A love / hate thing

Trade in their boredom for misery

//

But I believe in you

""

*** was once a reproductive thing

Now it's just a game to play

Twisting emotions up til pain

Kills the soul and numbs the heart

And puts and end to all reality

//

But I believe in you

••

The lonesome beach at dawn

The drunken party comes to an end

We pack up our ***** and *****

And go

HOME AGAIN

//

To the high school prison hell

To learn some more stupidity

Of how to be a docile slave

In the bowels of AMERICA

//

She lingers by the sea

She knows I watch her tenderly

She turns and says to me

I BELIEVE IN YOU

//

The first hint of light

Shines upon our eyes

And speaks to us with a simple sigh

I BELEVE IN YOU

|||

the song upon the wind

So gently does join in

I BELIEVE IN YOU

I BELIEVE IN YOU

//

A moment free from the lie

The self inflicted suffering

The brain washed minions worship well

every day and every night

••

But I believe in you

///

Child of the lonely beach

The long bitterness

The empty love

The momentary satisfactions

Of manufactured lusts

Still you may trust

Her and I as we pass on thru

The stories of your lives

That last for awhile before they fade

And you die

Into your own obscurity

But you know it all might change

//

And I believe in you

We believe in you

I believe in you
