third
world completion plans in the United States of America
we
are obsessed
with
the end of the world
we
listen to the deep paranoia
the
Masonic clamor
we
hail the Christian interpretation
of
humanity in our laws
we
mean to be free of religion
but
this new and old testament bible
is
used as a wedged lever means
to
allocate resources between divine
swords
and shields, and a class system
bent
on humiliation and submission
don’t
tell me institutionalization
does not
happen
it
is everywhere
in
our truncated complicity
in
our wells
in
our sewers
in
every color ribbon
we
use to memorialize distance
to
pain and a certain blindness
to
the domination
of
the philosophy of the color white
it
is in our throw away masses
our
fast food churches
it
is why we fill the passing plates
it
is because we mean to stave off our guilt
for
hoarding more than our fair share
even
that word fair, we would dare you
to
define it outside of our advantage
for
we know if we give just the little bits
of
our souls at a time
the
holes inside us go unnoticed
for
the most part and
we
may be able to see ourselves
outside
another silent night's fantasy
or
we just might
invent
our own light
in another part of the dark
hand
lantern crawling
I
hear all those calling
on
the sky to fall
I
don’t mind being an outcast
a
miscreant
a
leper or article
of
the past
I
only dream in color
of
soft virile skin again
this
is all part of my plan
seeing
the man
seeing
Uncle Sam
for
what he really is
a
scam caricature and portrait
of
a pimp logic gone awry
casting
spells of good intentions
in
constitutional body parts
from
prison walls to hospitals trawling
all
of you to do the right thing
to
die early and often enough
to
fully stock every Walled-mart
with
internal organs, healthy enough
to
be sold to those Dr. Frankensteins
prepping
for doom
with
their pockets full of gold
and
old antibiotics
they
hope never to have to use

haha yeah this obsession seems to capture many a person, all those who have don't want to lose so away they go and stock up on something that isn't just going to happen because some dumb calendar or preaching nut says so.
ReplyDeleteit is because we mean to stave off our guilt
ReplyDeletefor hoarding more than our fair share
even that word fair, we would dare you
to define it outside of our advantage...dang straight on man...and a hard truth for religeon in general that preaches on this and lives another all together...
Holy smokes! Edward..this is fantastic! Seriously...you poets are firing me right up. So much truth. It is hard to be awake when so many remain content to slumber. A sin that we have to live in a society that fails those who do not meet their requirements for complacency...writes like this serve a purpose...a very important purpose...thank you for sharing your eyes wide open truths....surely a few readers will decide to rise from their slumber because of it.
