In My Present Absence

In my present absence I’m trying to remember where I misplaced the key To unlock the door to my own existence I rise with the smelting icecaps Only to come crashing down with the rising levels of pollution So I’m stuck in my red thinking cap Things that make my radiator boil! We’re driving to the end of the world, faster and faster? With all that exhausts this oil And you thrive on cancer... You’re what you eat, what you smoke and as for the drink, I won’t interfere with your larger Am I just a filter...? Of ignorance and misinformation...a consumer of advertisements? Then only fit for litter So there’s no avoiding this junk It’s in the air, the water and every street pole we pass And I’m just an ignorant punk I was relaxing in the park And I witnessed hands exchange contraband on the merry-go-round Our own children doing something so dark For all my jogging I breathe in lead Poisoning my suburban home - now part of the inner city decay, how? ‘cause that’s the BS I’m fed 01-08-2015 Thabang Jan Ngoma Sponsor: Roy Jerden Contest Name: Everyone Poops
