THIS WORLD IS BECOMING TURGID
THIS WORLD IS BECOMING TURGID
Over and over again this world has become turgid;
We cannot solve simple Pythagorean equations and
Our ability to triangulate reason from the hypotenuse.
Like beavers and badgers we dig in and chew out a place
For our war rooms to build a death house. The boddhisatvas
Of these animals do not bring us to the Promise Land of peace.
Exactitude is the devil’s workshop; our pure math can
Telemetrize but smart bombs cannot cognize a single
Reason why lions should lay with lambs.
The law of tooth and claw is predicated on the territorial
Imperative; this is how the plutocracy, corporarcy and
Kleptocracy flourishes.. Civilization always steals Westward.
There is no other place for the wildebeests to leap into the
River except into the mouth of these crocodiles. Our country
Has its citizens become wolves pursing caribou over steppes.
We are diggers and miners like badgers; we love to see the
Dirt fly out behind our hind claws. We claim the earth by
Getting muddy. Once again, this world is becoming turgid
