I can’t help but chuckle when I see
dashboards cluttered with statuary –
the virgin Mary, Jesus, St. Christopher,
and dangling from the rearview mirror
(no doubt as backup for real harm),
a rosary, a rabbit’s foot, a scarab charm.
Yet the car’s banged up beyond recognition
when drivers rely on superstition.
What assurance can a driver have for hope
if he drives with no insurance, the dope?
Put more bluntly, what peace of mind
when statues are deaf, dumb and blind?
Presenting a problem as a ‘challenge’ instead,
Keeping dashboards all green when they should be all red,
Hear a piece of bad feedback that a colleague may give,
Flip it round in a second, calling him ‘negative’.
Turn a deaf ear or blind eye to an issue or two,
Just so long as the issues can’t trace back to you,
Set the team stupid deadlines till they’re all pretty pissed,
But then make that a positive, cause you’re an optimist.
when ants are spotted
on dashboards… inner sanctums
...detailing expense

Dark slide grind
Skating around issues
Breaking ice around in spheres
Wearing gaudy skirts that sparkle
In the wind
People never believe things until
It’s the end
What will it take to convince?
Social issues don’t mean a thing if there is no world to have them in
Politics and latest fashions are useless since,
It takes more then enough time to win
Affections of green paper and greedy oil corporations
Expansions, folding of ill-will and shady ways
Consciences are thin, now-a-days
It's a lot easier to ignore and deny
Then to right oneself and imply
Goodness to the World
If I put all these facts into a binder, present them in a sense
Of pure simplicity and smack-you-in-the-face
reality
Would you still deny the fact that we are becoming past tense
Killing what makes us real in the first place, Certainty
Isn’t what it was, anymore
Dashboards won’t save human ideas and massive clots of minds
Darning of holes in layers unknown can’t stop Mother Earth exploding from it’s
core
At times, it’s really not that easy to ignore
the signs
