(anal)ysis

Post by saw » November 22nd, 2009, 11:28 am

don't talk to me about your beauty
I have seen flaming cardinals sitting
tall in stark white snow, norway maples have
genuflected to show me their golden crowns

your values are too warped for me
your fans wobble on overheated bent shafts
whose bearings needed a grease job
a hundred thousand years ago

don't preach me another sermon
"bout market scripture sensibility
don't tax my imagination with your
regurgitated mumbo jumbo in hi-def

don't parade out yet another fucking genius
to calm me down, I already know what matters
I have seen it all in the children's smiles
I have seen it all in the children's tears
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

I'm sure once everyone shells out the dough for hi-def, we will all see much more clearly. now if they could only install B-chips to block bullshit. actually, that would be pointless.

you're on a roll, saw...
