...Inspired By Aesop Rock...Get Underground...



…While strange days are long…

elongated hours
shower pains
concealed
by cocaine
sniffs
celebrities
shift
quit
social interactions
where
addicted realism
blurs
the reel
media conflicted
the actor
or
the reporter
so whose acting

deviant…
civil disobedience
populaces
running
rampart
pillaging
armed to the teeth
economic neglect
elect
a presidential
candidate
as synchronized
terrorist
bombs
destroy
innocent sleep

honestly…
a ballot
doesn’t satisfy
the need
of an infant’s
empty palate
when dignitaries
dine
& converse
over
leadership
politics & oil
while being
extremely
gluttonous
insipid
greetings
eating
spoiled
cesar’s salad

employ…
a chief general
to cease
warfare
tactics
border lining
criminal
affairs
the crying
disadvantaged
don’t care

poverty & famine…
barges in
no gambles to win
it just starves
the whole house
now
the underprivileged
scramble
wearing
ski masks
&
carrying
shot guns
primitive
by all means
to
a necessary
end

in a technological time…
scavengers
refusing
to allow
their bellies
to deflate thin
corporations grin
salivating
anticipating
a $700 billion
bailout
hmm
bankruptcy
&
incarceration
similar to
an aristocratic
imitation
route

desolate teens…
who decide to
increase
the educational ails
of societal minorities
contributing to
festering
descent
of high school
dropouts

ironic how…
the world
gravitates
pulling
tragedy
pushing
gravity
hard times
collapsing
stocks
crashing

presently…
who’s mad
at Martha Steward
for cleverly
collecting
cashing
a stint
currency
morally
&
ethically
not
convoluted

filtration tanks…
polluted
think
about
this
20 years ago
purchasing
bottled water
would be
considered
foolish

fannie mae…
crumbles
college loans
disappearing
tuition up
by an
elevated
percentage
breaking
limits
like gasoline
education is becoming
a slow
process
not potential
progress
for students

meanwhile…
scientists
spent
billions
smashing
atoms
the ozone is
widening
sunburn
cancerous
epidermal
erosion
killing
senior
citizens
yearly
by the thousands

…I sit….

wondering
about the worlds rationality
equality justice logic & awareness

…What On Earth Happened…

...the entire system is corrupt & careless...
