.... there is something we just got to do

==

that so many of us are

Battered and lost has nothing to do

With the comings and goings of boyfriends

Girlfriends

Etc

( these things are --- " old hat " )

//

But

The destruction of a whole generation

Of youth ..... (?)

NO!

THIS IS CLASS WARFARE WAGED WITH

THE DEADLIEST OF INTENTIONS

//

seeing ourselves in our totality

( not just in our individuality )

Makes this quite obvious



We can

Move to a more subtle

A deeper

Perspective

Or

Just stay as we are and let the years

Finally bury us in the inevitable

Realm of misery

To which we are being driven

//

To change (?)

Well

Will you ?

//

Temporary relief (?)

Yes

It's just temporary



Real love requires real life

Real life requires real love

••

In a moment of wild understanding

Give up the whole  of this

Monstrous lie

And dare to be free

//

( the daring IS the liberation )

""

Ain't no cheap escape

//

The goal is not a bigger prison cell

With carpeting and wi -fi

--

Soon

Your options shall be gone

And you will be trapped forever
