Taylor Swift is quoted as saying
"Its hard being a human being"
A tear drips down my tired cheek
for her pain. For the worlds. If she only
knew
psychopaths deserve to be locked forever
in chains. Said the mental health lady
I lead conversation into patriarchy
Her cheeks redden when I suggest
that maybe. Just maybe. Humankinds, and
womens particularly, hope hinges on
nonmainstream boogeymen crazy
nine billion humans by two thousand twenty two
How many can we cast off as deserving
cement, seperation, steel depression, solitary?
Kacey Musgraves country. My generation
we die in small towns desperately waiting
after five years solitary I heard "Merry
go 'round." Forgotten what it was; who I was; who
I was;- 'round 'round 'round - how
to love

Didn't know Matt Taibbi in Rolling Stone
was against Wall Street deceiving demons
seems we've all got a lock on changing things
we, the twenty to forty, but just needing
"something..." (?)

A leap. A thresold. A defining moment
we've crossed. Its time to grab the ring
people. Time the pretty people winners
lost.

If we blend in to the scenery we become
when government becomes everyones problem
and war destroys even the winning soldiers
our hearts can't take much more desperation
If your country sends out terrorism
expect it. Whats the Boston bombing
to the millions of starved children
choked by U.$. economic sanctions?!

When you lose a leg with a stomach full
of expensive yogurt. Wearing two hundred dollar shoes
as half the worlds starving.

After what suffering we've caused the world
shouldn't the refrain be: its hard being Boston, ETA
Amerikkans?!
