Culture

It is not the sun that lights my path.

It never will and never has.

And as age slowly cripples me

I realize, without the sun I'll ever be.

 

In this time of plastic body parts,

A culture with no concept of art,

Lit by the fake and fluorescent suns,

Where the only language heard comes from the mouth

                                                                                   of a gun

 

I am not alone in this dark and natural dankness.

We are children who grow|and are thankless.

We cannot even dream of open spaces.

The television reflects a bleak reality on our faces.

 

It's a time of war|the enemy is everyone.

Time has stopped in this world void of sun.

All that's left is the intent to ****

And our only way out is to simply stand still.
