Poem
Don’t let them get you talking bat-on-brain, beak turned upside down Don’t let them have you walking with your throbbing head spun around Everything simple is now so plain topsy turvy, silence is the complex New Wave sound Aisle confusion ... bland XY liberty Shopping cart illusion, soap opera values so capsicum spicy Taste the topsy turvy — pungent pepper is lick savory salt Can’t detect the lies with the tainted sodium pentothal Drop the fear pamphlets from the plane Tell the rollercoaster peace lovers, the war wheels ain’t gonna stop turning But the churning of the spiel is a casting couch deal ... Evil deeds portrayed as good Fake heroism co-starring as truth Concerned citizens lounging aloof — abject neglect is considered duty bound So much wobbly noise, got those bobble heads spinning around Exorcist thrill-seekers doing the demon mic drop Mute answer the free-fall call Cold cadaver lips spark passions hot, but it’s hate ... not love Topsy turvy logic doing the jive turkey trot: Pocket squeeze lung touch ain’t never enough The dirty airflow plumage below is filter sold as peacock strut clean from above Big dollar squawk, telly screams ‘bout Babel bauble riches being stolen from the Tower vault Pigeons and the hawks got the sticky finger trigger resin itches, and neither one wanna get caught Topsy turvy, profit margins ... turning up too small Bottom line greed has downright gotten so beanstalk tall Topsy turvy ... snake oil speech be viper lips moving so swervy Up is down ... east is west Wrong is right, the more deserving gets less Topsy turvy ... don’t be brotherly ear liberal, generous heart gestures is a Cain alm no-no Topsy turvy ... conservatism is the sold fault line divide Recycled sin: plastic compassion be the coin of the realm Glossy lip service in wink action — flippancy odds nod satisfaction is the same on either side Topsy turvy ... saying mine is yours No need to wonder how a little spit starts a lot of world wars
