“Ode To The Earth”

child of the earth

dreamer you are

shining with mirth

composure ajar

a song will soon pass

from the lips of your death

the wealth you’ve amassed

will fall from your breast

you’ll crawl through the dirt

beneath your blind feet

your pride will be hurt

your mind incomplete

you’ll know what its like

to be loved by no one

your thoughts will be heard

when a dream you’ve become

to fall from wet lips

back down to your world

to think of your fits

when cruelty was hurled

at the feet of a nation

hated for love

praised for sensation

happiness shoved

into the manhole

at the end of your dreams

misplacing your goals

destroying your schemes

til nothing remains

of the power you crave

you’ll lose all you’ve gained

your grip on your slaves

who need but a word

and a moment or two

to make the earth blur

into the sky around you

I think I am bored

just thinking of you

and your puppet like board

made of plastic and glue

there is just one question

or hope it could be

I await your decision

may you drown in my pee

if you don’t come down

from the cloud that you’re on

to our home on the ground

where truth has just gone
