A World At Crossroads

teddy do you think
there's life there

i think there's more
life inside a teddy
bear

what do you see teddy

i see chimneys
i see man made
smoke

reminds of the
vatcans white
smoke

i see men afraid to
talk

i see chequered skies
con for them
Chem for us
nature of grown ups
lies

i see a city called
future

i see wounds beyond
suture

i see horrors that
made a teddy
talk

i see skin pale as
chalk

your daddy lied
he always says
i want you better
than me

parroting what
he heard from
his daddy

inheritance of
deciet and lies
betraying their
own

now i know the
meaning of home
grown

when they see
their children
doing cocaine
their skin turns
pale

but it's ok to
snort and die
high on
chemtrail

i guess parents
prefer their kids
die legal 

i see more needles
ccarrying vaccines
and childhood
fades in horror scenes

i see towers
posing as trees
massacring bees

i see masks
making all adults
looking the same
bent spines in shame
hiding from their
children's eyes
where are your
preaching and lessons
man isn't to tame

everyone pays the
bill at the gates
of hell

come on teddy
it's mac's GMOs
happy last suppers
already
into the cell homes
keep the distance
six feet steady
curfew time
soul cooking rituals
getting ready 

what a brave new
world

no one lives but
chipped teddy
