Rock-Worries

a tumble maybe a rumble of stone and steel rubber wheels down town white satin gown no it is dust settled around as dreams hit the ground hear the rumble of man and machine mother nature stumbled and coughed up a dusty scene the musicians threw away their picks and played their electric guitars with change not elevator music to arrange a pleasing melody runs and hides drums fast and loud leap in strides paper rain falls like confetti with messages to all the free alone in crowds of cameras clicking while time bombs smile as they are ticking some were born of the selected some were payroll elected all cells of cells in a living world given the grace to live here as boy to live here as girl as the human race a wave of civilization rising to a crest planning own annihilation same as all the rest all the lives lost in war swords and missiles can’t compare to the wicked ways of a nasty haze that hangs within breath inside and out it will number our days as we linger close to wealth to survive man must love his fellow man love both sea and land and if no one understands find a way to settle another Earth
