The downfall of civilization.
when I watch TV all I see are commercials for heartburn stuffs, what is
with that? are the subjects of American culture rotting from the inside
out? did their bodies realize their sins before their minds did? is this
happening with everyone?
the world is going downhill fast, and we wont find out until we hit the
bottom whether or not our air bags will work. this is a new car
commercial, gaudy and loud, "buy or die!" they scream from their tabloid
pulpits. our churches have turned into department stores, the very
children that are our hope are selling their lives out for a dime bag
and a place to stay. we dress in jail rags, chant the rants of the very
people that are bringing this pseudo-life to its knees.
athletes are yelling the rhymes of corporations at anyone who will
listen. our hero's are not fighting for equality or freedom, they are
throwing hype out about cop killers and hits of coke. you cant eat
money, you cant take it with you when you die, and it sure as hell wont
stop a bullet.
America is the prostitute of the free and imprisoned world, thousands
died so we can enjoy cable from our matching houses with our matching
lives. god is for those who are wasting their lives and need another one
to spare. we fought for what now? so that rapists and murderers could
walk free while political prisoners rotted in their cells?
parents work all day so their children can attend public schools that
promote insecurity and train the next generation to be faceless and
money driven. the smart are encouraged to work for large companies or
military services, the down of luck are pushed into low paying jobs and
inferior lives. the country will prosper and a revolution will be
breathing down our necks.
i missed the sermon with the explanation, the end is near and the lord
saves. McDonalds will cater the apocalypse, and Nike will provide the
offical shoe. God sold out to Miramax for the film, Tarantino has
claimed the screenplay, and look out for the soundtrack by Backstreet
Boys. salvation is being sold with an order of fries, healing comes with
a free drink, faith by Armani.
the angels have encountered a glass ceiling, sexual harassment
allegations in hell, the government has become "nightly action news".
blood and gore, right and wrong, good and bad, pleasure and pain
extremes are desired in a moderated world. the second coming will have
its own line of clothes, the blood of the lamb is copyrighted. heaven
and the inferno have merged and the NASDAQ is reaching all time highs.
justice has been fvcked over, her sword carried off and her measures
used for heroin. the flag is used as a doormat in other countries, our
anthem sung by drunk veterans in the middle of the night. this feels
like a moment of revelation, but its just another day in Las Vegas.
i wake up in the middle of the night screaming for solace, i cry for a
calm sea and a worthy ship. like a panther truth runs through the
sleeping city, merging with the gray and spreading over the streets in
lies. we are grasping ever bit of cabbie wisdom we can find, slipping
over the edge trying to hold on to religion, government, and "family".
we have a thirst that encompasses our lives, and it can only be quenched
with blood.
"I am the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end." I don't
remember if it was god or bill gates that said that.

It is very true that the faith of today rests in the hand of ABC, NBC, FBI, KGB, CBS, and IRS.
It is sad yet true that those in power, use their power, to stay in power. And those that fought for freedom saw their blood wash away years of strife just to bring in more years of strife and everyone knows it but is content in their, quickie divorces, custody battles, and copywrite infringement laws. When all is said and done the finaly bill will be due with no layover, no ninety day extension, and no credit protection.
How many will still have a bottom line then? I assure you, you WILL be audited.
but of course, I'm an Idiot.
