nastiness on the internet
television full of fools
double-speak on the radio
hate on the telephone
wish it all blows away
in the radioactive snow
horns honk
brakes lock
stocks fall
a repeating
state of shellshock
pretend hope of families
left behind feelings
of youth
no wonder so many
become riddled
with trifled medicine
swaths of bristled insincerity
luxury vanity insecurity
bugs in your home
and under our skin
jewels of memory
taken by pirates
buried forever in a cheap tin
blinds drawn
in the pool of chemicals
for the golden dawn
innocence strip-mined
by soulless trappers
doomed ourselves with plastic bottles
and candy wrappers
take another breath
take another deep breath
for tomorrow
