"SIR! How do we silence anxiety? Sir." Welcome to the new era, A-dread-alized Motivation We Swept concrete under bombshelter rugs Wept skyscraper scaffolding Twin tears down construction worker cheekbones. Dangling off plywood Staring at their lunchmeat In silliphane Placing it back Closing their eyes The sun rise past the construction Shone red and yellow Orange and black War in the winds We all knew that there could be only one thing to silence the Trembling fingers still left shaking from the resurrection of our ancesters sins. The uncertainty of our nationalism, or ability to breathe. A tragedy to bond us. Glued to the severance of anxiety horizens. "The New Era" Stapled to the door frame. Green now in the sky They painted the missiles gold so we'd know who sent them. Waves came Tore cartilage from the floor boards. Fires came Swept veins up in the smoke a plague would have come, but the world glazed over with laughter. labeled allergies a coping mechanism in the face of cataclysm We swore at each other Didn't blame god. For once This time we didn't want to curse gods name that way. Not when we knew our aggressor The rich had bombshelter elbows The beautiful had lips like plane tickets You stand accused of revolution Influence, motivation, rebellion! PAYING ATTENTION What do you have to say for yourself? Says Judge Judy. to the artists. All of them. Shackled in front of ovens, Brothers and Sisters of rainbow skin Motivators aren't needed when you're "Silencing Anxiety" She says. A general in the white house asks: "They're all too loud. How do we unleash genocide for a whole generation?" And this ************ Gaunt in the corner? Says suicide.
