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
