TV commercials echoing
a cry for consumerism during
a recession of pride and hope
and through it all talking boxes
resound the call to arms
Come take me and forget your worries
and lest we stand divided or united
by nightfall; hopes tattered;
dreams battered
A mad Ahab rising in search
of a whale called America
and was left for dead by tuna hunters
on a mission of death and misery
and though the dolphins still swim
freely; dying of AIDS from
toxic hospital polluters we try
to find a cure and pray to
Madam Curie
And the trees collapse for paper
instead of using recyclable,
renewable hemp
that could save the environment
and yet here we go again trying
to find a way to survive in
this blood thirsty world of ours;
the days and nights scamper by
and the dreams of life
are endlessly encouraged
by perpetual hope
