Nausea comes
never mind the robotics
Outdated and primitive
something out of an old horror show
Black and white
with pale mustache movements
Flicker for some change
silence in the monopoly
Orange blue skies in the forecast
radio towers shadow homes
Cheap but unstable
Swerve for the limo
with it's rented passenger
Make room for concrete
with it's finalized oozing
Conclusions in literal stone
By all means
Grow grass before you build
Let the time be captured before creation
Let the giants stretch one last time
Before they pull down the clouds for warmth
Before they make rain for thirst
Before they break stars for spite
Manmade for a time
they now mutiny against the gods
What gods nobody asks?
We eat nuclear dinners
while television glow illuminates
Slack jaw chewing
The bits we miss fall down
Nutrition for one hundred hungry orphans
Feel the warmth of giving
We donate at the register because we want salvation
But we don't share the cheeto with the bag lady downtown
Broken stair case
denial
Gray concrete
old and cracked
Message by way of cup and string
a voice from the past
Faded but painful
rusted yet lovely
Said she drank herself to death
sent a selfi from heaven
Saying she was right and I am doomed
We make lust but call it love
animals in denial
Chemical fueled collisions
and innocents is lost
Broken home renewal
pass the generation general
This war needs motivation
this money needs consolidating
These masses need thinning
nobody makes it to the bottom
We all look down hoping for a clue
But these gods prove elusive
Nothing manmade in the organic
Nothing humble in the insane
