This is the time of night
when the cold wind rustles the dead leaves
when all the flowers wither up into little balls
of dried nothingness
where the radio plays the same song
over and over again
as factories close
and politicians get reelected
the wheel turns and turns
deeper into the mud
the children are made slaves
in order to have a future
and families become separated
over merchandise
while our armies eradicate God
in new lands
and the beasts of burden
perpetually shit on a society
that cannot collectively cry
that instead bleeds random sociopaths
as it rains pestilence
from the products we create
within the systems that fail
under the weight of corruption
and there is word-wide unrest
as thousands protest
against the walls of bureaucracy
while the thugs behind the wheel
laugh all the way to the bank
and all of our principles, virtues and very ideals
are bought and sold
in the institutions they have built.
This is the time of night
that I crack open another beer
turn up the Bach
and am grateful for my cat.
“where the radio plays the same song
over and over again
as factories close”
this really hit me as a great way of describing something arbitrary.
Also the end of this poem is awesome.
Keep em coming, or else.
Thanks man! I will. You too…or you’re cheque will be prematurely cashed.
(puts check part by HJM on “Still Worthy of Life List”)
hahahaha!
I loved, loved, loved this one!!! Brilliant! And Bach is always appropriate 😀
Thank you! Yes! Bach always lifts my spirits no matter what.
Wow. Love it. Sent chills.
Really appreciate you saying that. Thank you!
are chance you’re channeling Ayn Rand?
you know, I have never had the opportunity to read her but I will check her out. Thank you for that though, that’s awesome.
Bravo!
Thanks Man!
OK… so super corny, I know, but I nominated you for a Liebster. (There is a super cool fight club badge that would go with your black theme…) Please don’t feel obligated to accept if it isn’t quite your cup o’ joe. http://evanescentincrements.wordpress.com/2013/04/01/share-the-love/
Thanks. That’s super fucking cool. I will check it out. The fight club badge sounds like a cool idea.
You’re super fucking cool.
Must be a phase of the moon or something, I just got a Liebster too, LOL.
You too.
i am not good with classic music, but does Bach tend to be the music in the movie where a psychopath ready to make another kill?
I always thought that Bach’s music was more uplifting. Very interesting and layered. Phenomenal composer. I always keep him around.
eehmm i must have mistaken with different classic music =D
ohhh forgot to say, this one is pretty intense, like it lot
Thank you! I have more like it but I want to stay away from being a negative doomsday type of person although it appears to be a consistent reflection of my views of the world these days.
i guess i have given up to view the world,
the little world around me is exhausting enough
