Untitled (Observations in Poetry Form)



This collage of lines was the result of writing on the back of a newspaper article (about the assassination of a Hamas leader by Israel if you were wondering and I know you were) and passing it around from person to person. In no particular order, the following people contributed to this work: Emma Smith, Matt Flannes, David Casey, Rachel Granberg, Daniel Putnam, Lauren Grubb, Adam Liss.



Que'st ce que c'est?
Give me, give me you, you
You're yours for now - mine to keep
Time will change, but we won't
We stand, two rocks, amidst the stream of time
What's up Mom?
Bitching politicians lying about the dying overseas
Hated by your moaning presence
Letting the tears drip to your dying
Morality fails and the corruption seethes
Do we perceive, or do they deceive?
The White House is partly responsible
Mayhem caused by the tanks and the bombs
UNDER MOTHERFUCKING GOD!?
Mayhem caused to protect God
Totalitarian - fuck that - liberal
Buchanan doesn't know shit
God is dead
The One aye ehm bell chimes serenely
Chimes liberty, freedom: invasions
Democracy of hypocrisy, allegations of apostasy
Dies for an individual to die selflessly.
