Nonentities Cypher
A Coca Cola Santa stampedes into the streets
nail gun in hand
peat matured whiskey 13 years upon his breath
´tis the time for this tinsel rebellion
of Decembers egress
A debacle of gluttons fairy ethics
light up them there star eyed fire rockets
and trickster the adverts choir
sing all thanks giving
and renew next years intimidating
Haunted by Disney's Snow White
the overfed belch of Christmas pudding
the emaciated contingent
of Tinkerbell's creations
lay there limp on barbed-wires inattentions
AH ´tis so and all of sham
all of fart and voice in clamor defend
the liberties of embezzlement
struck from suckling mouths defenseless
in a party of patriotic
mindlessness
Sing them then the choir of adverts
the game show hosts
the bleating puke of reality shows
and slap against alluring shop-windows
for the dreams momentous promises
And hope and pray
beseech the inevitable judgment day
to find it guiltless
enough money at least
to see it buried in the gardens of innocence
Innocent mouth torn from mothers breast
in the wont of missile politics
condemned all stand in joyous flag
lays ignorance apparent
as Santa Claus stampedes into the streets
