I’ll look up and see a wasp Or a bee, hunting around, Ready to die. Collaborations simplified in rivers abreast Oh, the shores of Lethe are so delightful With their ash marked eyes and solitude beggars Potted plants of desiree, coal jutted shouts cross Blanket crowds shoved in a bruised corner With a madman screaming something about Lasting generation and forced collaration. See the basket cases? Claimed they were From the devil, Dee did, muttering about kingdoms and collard greens With her stuffed, shrunk coat waddling round the same Dickey’s, a corner from Westboro Baptist. And kitty corner from the statues no one’s taking down Cause Mr.White said nah son, that’s not right As he bombed Bethel Baptist one more time. And these shores are so delightful, don’t you see? Harpooned sticks and scarecrows, oh sorry, I meant social expectations, but who cares anyway? Wondering why we all say “i want to die’, Have you looked at the government mandating People inhuman, or the money situation, Should be on the news, but No we here at Fox and CNN don’t believe that’s important. Say, I don’t think we should have Onion headlines On the New York Times. So we say ‘i want to die’ and the Gazette tells us it’s those **** video games again or maybe it’s the stigma and lack of empathy from The Powerful. And you hear on the street, “Weed’s ending this country,” Sorry, I wanted a break from all this god **** noise From a country pulling apart at the beaten seams Of another unwritten book. Anger, you’ll say, irrational, I’ll add, But pointing at the statue in the park And you wonder why all those wasps And bees we look down on, the gerbils and Hamsters That we never pull a punch on Why they escape through the way they know how, Why, wouldn’t you too? But that’d require empathy, sir, And apparently you lack more than morals, sir. Look, there’s Dee, getting her collard greens In her stuffy, shrunken jacket, Round the corner from Dickey’s and cracked roads with littered breezes blowing past cars open windows, honking and brazen calls. Welcome to the Lethe shores, Don’t worry, you won’t remember a thing, Slipped a bit of Liquid X in your alcohol.

Lethe
I’ll look up and see a wasp Or a bee, hunting around, Ready to die. Collaborations simplified in rivers abreast Oh, the shores of Lethe are so delightful With their ash marked eyes and solitude beggars Potted plants of desiree, coal jutted shouts cross Blanket crowds shoved in a bruised corner With a madman screaming something about Lasting generation and forced collaration. See the basket cases? Claimed they were From the devil, Dee did, muttering about kingdoms and collard greens With her stuffed, shrunk coat waddling round the same Dickey’s, a corner from Westboro Baptist. And kitty corner from the statues no one’s taking down Cause Mr.White said nah son, that’s not right As he bombed Bethel Baptist one more time. And these shores are so delightful, don’t you see?
