PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

i can’t stand this melancholy for another day

can’t be dull or dumb, balance my work n play

whatever this message in my head has to say

it’s about time I really tried to find a way

to rise with the new day n break through the fog

liberally spillin out of the lethal exhaust

of all these stopped, standing, and parked vehicles of loss

in a tow away zone, chokin out growth without considerin costs

to the eco from the smog gettin thick

particles of carbon buildin up into bricks

It’s a symptom of the system that’s lyin sick

on a deathbed table getting another facelift

so nobody knows the full extent of the crisis

the damage is under control by the nicest

goverment corporation supersecret agents with license

to kill, steal, cheat, n lie until it entices

the world to buy this story that we’ve been given

by anylysts with worthless positions earnin a livin

where if they ever actually did their jobs they’d be driven

outta business by themselves and a world that’s unforgivin

and cold and it’s growin more frigid every minute

like step-sisters who would steal your heels if they could fit it

so forget the big-headed world wisdom n outwit it

people are wrong and they know it but they just won’t admit it

cuz if they did, they’d get it in an epiphany

a revelation more orchestrated than a symphony

that all we gotta do is treat people with sympathy

history could live in peace instead of infamy

always repeating itself in all of the worst ways

slavery has been replaced by a wage without a raise

think we’re outta the dark? just give it a few days

to realize that these kind of sayings are more than cliches

cuz it doesn’t matter how much stuff we can make per hour

if most of the people don’t have any of the power

while kids are fightin wars, makin their own mothers cower

we’re more worried about the products we put in the shower

television has got our priorities so rearranged

entertainment and biased news that ratings regulate

for every minute that covers events that needs to be changed

advertising takes ten times as much to squeeze into your brain
