Sirens wail!
Lights are flashing!
No one heeds the call!
光
No one really cares.
Hypnotized from childhood.
Don't do that!
Do this!
光
Suck on a binky.
It's so soothing.
There's plastic in your blood.
Toxins in your soup.
光
Drink swill from the tap.
It's better for you.
It's full of fluoride.
Full of chemicals.
光
Fast food.
French fries.
Cola.
Wendy loves you.
光
Have some herbal tea.
Whilst 1.3 million street children weep.
Fed Res sends 700-800 billion to the EU.
And you buy a new home for 1.3 million.
光
Learn to write.
Write some more.
Even though it's crap.
There's applause at the door.
光
Liars!
Hypocrites!
Ego driven!
Self-deluded!
光
Within your nest of thorns.
Don't come too close.
Don't dream in colour.
Don't explore creativity.
光
Just sit there.
Do the same old thing.
Day after day after day.
Do nothing for anyone else.
光
Limit yourself.
Limit your creativity.
Get rid of your paints.
Hide in your fracking tackle box.
光
No one heeds the call.
Lights are flashing.
Sirens wail.
Roger Allen Baut
光
We laughed as the sun went down,
Sang songs of a dying Earth,
And danced until the moon rose
For the very last time. RAB
