Trails of piss run rivers
from walls to cracks in
the sidewalks in a back
and forth crooked manner
quenching the thirst of
a seed that wants to
bless the world with it's
future...
...despite being surrounded
by broken glass and shells
that used to hold 9 milli slugs
that now hold old debts
paid for by a life...

...what is now
is insanity
crazy /
will someone please stop
this ride.................................

smoked up after separation
trees evaporate like new development
in a new world / and people
run the streets and hitch rides on
public transportation and
don't even notice that the
oxygen is in shorter supply than
before...

what is now...is
insanity...and people are
gagging and don't know why

capitalism will have you buying
oxy gen in small increments
to exist beneath the margins
of profits belched out by
smoke stacks of big business...
and all the "help" programs will
be cut / and all the poor people
will perish, simply vanish without
a headline to say goodbye /

cause they can't afford to breathe...
and smokestacks have no love

...what IS now
is insanity...

jails are becoming the new public
housing and there's plenty of
section 8 money to place a brother
on cell block 8...when he grows
his own trees for oxy gen to circum vent
the system...

the system smells like a dank basement
with old leather boots, rotted apple trees
and piss...

they used to sell to seeds

so they could grow and bless the
world with it's future
of promise despite the broken glass
and swollen shells

...what IS now IS insanity
can someone please stop this crazy
ride?...

...cause those with the jars of piss have
stopped selling and big businesses
are rolling up the poor and toking them
in smokestacks

...please stop this crazy ride.
