Bugged Out

Bugged Out  9/11/2013

Swivel your head

From the left to the right

But don’t forget to notice

What doesn’t fit

And never works. 

Human nature

Is what it is

Either for the better

Or for the worse. 

If control leads to death

Then you had better forget it

Because everything that was

Will always come again. 

Metal smashes against metal

And shattered glass

Can slash the skin

But watch out for the projectiles

Bouncing off the ground. 

A dark pestilence comes

But first

It must poison the mind

Backing you into a corner

With nowhere to run. 

Some will run

And try to hide

But others will lash out

Irrational and dumb.

All the money is worthless

And all the houses are defiled

As we dream of the splendor

That a few can still remember.

The cars pile up

On the freeway

And the trees burn

Out of control

While we look to sky

With our mouths wide open.

Reality is distorted

And the ugliness is ignored

As if it never happened 

And truth does not exist.

 

What is there to do?

At the end of it all

When both the good and the bad

Are washed away with time.

But it won’t matter

If you cling to security

Because the treasure has been looted

And all the credit is gone. 

I will grab hold

Of what is most important

Embracing tightly

What is irreplaceable

And beautiful. 

Hold on to your children

Because they are what evil wants

Yesterday, today

And even more tomorrow.
