and will the ones who UNDERSTAND
prevail........who knows?

we are such simple cannon fodder
we are such ordinary consumers

we are simply the workers who buy
and buy into anything at all

days trail perversely on and on

the gallant youth attempt to find
a way to love

the heart of man is frozen

the ugliness permeates
all social institutions

and the manipulators are praised
for their mad interventions

the simple pure young lovers
the wise and the gentle
the decent kind and graceful??

who are these?

we dont know them anymore

and who then shall prevail?

will it be you?
will it be me?

I HOPE SO
