Cry the Bitterness Out

Cry the bitterness out, sweet girl The blame will poison until the river Bleeds out, runs clear The vast machinery of peopled robots Follow in their trains… Oh, get entertained! Threaten the sane Believe in the unthinkable, just cry To let the mind drain, then fly, Until no more words are left Flush the ego down the toilet For the babies, the ones unborn And us. Till we no longer think About the crying, or the laughing, We can’t tell the difference Jump into the mud to see How dirty we can be But most importantly Cry, and divert the mind Ridiculously, just be alive!
