Smothered
cement is always
same,
producing the same
answer,
executing the habitual
formula
~~
cement is
everywhere.
cement produces the
same minions.
what lays on the cynical surface
is constant.
cars drive,
buildings ascend,
buildings demolished
~~
you are born
to look down,
look down,
look straight,
but never look
up.
Look down, as
your man made
machine works.
You are a stock,
a stock that never
loses value.
A stock that will
produce.
Look down as
you are feasted on.
stare down to your
pay
~~
Fertile elegant land
is now raped with
all the same.
look down,
to the insanity
repetitions.
look down as you are
instilled to,
while
the rich men smoke
big cigars to their
monopoly game,
~~
Stretch your strained
neck,
throw your head
up.
See the blue and clouds
and stars,
Feel the sun,
see the bird gazing across you.
~~
to the ocean,
follow me
