eels and escalators

Folder: 
light

society is a slide.
better yet, a game of king of the hill.
we climb and climb
and step on each other's faces to push our way up to
six six seven.
oh God in heaven
says let go and die
you'll hit the bottom and fly
yet you try and try and try
and cry and fry your brain
you still lose the game
you need not try to gain
height all the time.
there's a ladder on the other side!
tunnel vision declined.
perception's a lie

don't you see you're in the way of your own life?
let the king of the hill be high
it's lonely in the sky
where you can see what's right
and what's destroying our lives.
