A VIEW FROM BEYOND THE BLUE I hate to see the world grow this way Everything seems like an aimless gray Over there used to be a cow’s habitat all blazingly green Now it’s just another iron and concrete scene Building latter day dinosaurs against our iconoclastic dreams They grow taller and stronger fortified by iron beams Over there used to be where I played football as a child But now it’s that same field progress has defiled My eyes scan the scenery and cry for a society’s pretense Weeping for the fools without shame nor common sense Each day the sky is obscured by what man came to build And all of those cows have now been killed This is your worthless world and it’s gone terribly awry So I’ll remain in the breath of clouds and fantasy’s fog till I die Because ain’t no reason for me to return except Raggae and rum And get the valet to pull around our car, but not Jake, he’s too dumb And you all can do me a favor and entertain me while you bear the crown I want to spit on every fool, every bigot and everyone I deem a morose clown So I’ll simply stay where I am in a place that keeps me ever calm While I seek out men willing to wager on who’ll be the first to release a nuclear bomb © 2011.…free poetry ~free cee!~
