Aaron

Fortunes and fishermen 
drowning in helium.

We should be priority 
but we're 
numbered 
wings clipped 
put behind bars as if
the sky has been ripped
from our grasp 
and remains only a memory
in the aviary.

The word was boss,
top dollar diving 
then hung on the cross
the word was still boss.

Along came ***** in pictures
the new pixels they sell us as scriptures,
but 
nobody bothered to read
they just looked.

They'll celebrate revelations 
drunken 
besotted with their demonstrations
of faith.

But christ's on the freeway 
doing eighty and 
there's no way that he's 
coming back.

Fortunes and fishermen who
hold tight to the talisman 
praying
It'll be alright.
