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!
