Damages.
Minds armed to the synapses
with verbal teeth,
sharpened wits that can cut through bone til it snaps.
Tempers flaregun into the atmosphere
and they say it’s fossil fuels and chemicals
bringin destruction near
Shields.
Personal ozone layers for reflecting away
truth and lies,
anything that challenges perception, the way
Our own realities are trapped inside
greenhouse effect conception
in our little bubbles we hide.
EMP.
Give me a chainsaw charged
with electric philosophy
so I can cut down this wall
and we can all be neighbors.
All our religion divisions destroyed, free at last
to find the truth in every girl and boy.
Reality.
In our grasp for the first time
since the garden was taken away
and we were thrown aside
into the wasteland to struggle and pave our own path
mismatch music within
every failed measure of math.
Freedom.
The kind of living no one can even envision
Without the need for mental defense mechanisms,
society will rise and shine
into the new dawn no one goes blind
even though we’re staring
directly into the sun.
Eternity.
This is just the beginning of infinite time
unwind the grandfather clock
the old man left behind
and let it sit without a tick to wonder at its fate
to see what kind of device
we can replace.
