SCREAM!!!
You vicious continent!
Your ignorant words spill from the left and right
Even spoiling the mouths of artist
Poets, Musicians, and the Philosophic scholars
None of them can escape your Ignorant DownFall
LET THEM HAVE IT
I cannot stand to hear their lazy words
SUCH APATHY!!!
None have a care
Idly slipping by in the world
allowing all the excesses and luxuries to be theirs
YET!
the people die slowly, the weak the weary and the poor
Not knowing anything better they lay soundlessly in poverty's grasp
with the dirt, the bugs and the maimed dreams of the delirious
IT MUST BE NICE!
To look down from such a perch
from a lofty view, contented and happy
with the ability for such apathy
the means to never pursue change
WAR!
is that how your politics thrive!?
The mind numbing cold life that embodies such an action
the merciless killing of people young an old only because they are seen as an enemy!!!
YET YOU SIT
high and mighty in your cardboard cut out buildings
sipping the faux ideals from a electronic box!
in hopes of what!!! salvation!!!!
may you drown in your own coffee!
For the First scholars of this new world
once called the americas
believed in the idea that life was not founded on vanity and sloth
Yet they amazed at the adventure to be had
the outdoors were celebrated and discovered
though we have destroyed so much of what we had
we are now entrapped in the technological
forging some ugly grotesque ideal that is all metal and never organic
skew your minds for a second only to see the reality
shake your head in the tormented way that our materials will fail us
for the idea will get out
MONEY PEOPLE ALWAYS SEE SOME ******* PROFIT!!!
what happened to just expression instead of cashing in
LET IT GO!!!
because to hold on to the apathy
to hold on to the material
will just make it more obvious
in how we have faltered
in how we will fail.
