Enjoy the Ice Cream.. While It Lasts
Entrapped with Wires
Hands bound behind my back
Enslaved
The wires go on for miles
Covering every inch of our city
Vibrating with electricity. Humming excitement
Our happy little friend??
NO
WE
Like a dog on a short leash
Tugged by its master
Controlled
By the flicker of light from the fillament
Are we now but 0's and 1's?
Turn it off
Live!!
Ceaselessly the wires continue on their path of domination
They have found me here in my safe refuge
The world's end and innocence is due to our undoing
I am their prisoner
I shout for someone to rescue me
BUT
The noise of Traffic
Blocks
The sound of my tears dripping
Honking away those little monsters
Gasoline chompers
leaving their waste
Which harms us
Oil from the dead
Is what fed them today
Poisoning the air
Like fish gasping on land
The Result: Dead like the oil
We'll be buried in the ground
Where
The wires are waiting to entangle our caskets
Like it has every inch of the underground
Infrared signals
Dance across the sky
Our invisible enemies
Blistering
Cooking flesh for human consumption
Ironic
The cancer eats us from the insides
This is a plea of a young girl seeking refuge
for something pure
Smog
Devil's breath
Hot
The stench is unbearable
OH Gaseous Death
You billow from the smoke stacks
Licking Away layers of the Ozone
Earth
The universe's ice cream
A treat that used to be sweet
But now after years of abuse
Turned out to sour
How long will we last?
Lets hope our ice cream won't melt fast
