Poem: Humanobotic

 

Humanobotic

 

i didn’t ask to be born,

to suffer these chemicals,

and bombs keep dropping,

and injustice keeps denying,

and the fascist takeover

has no courage to be honest

about the cult that it is.

 

lies lies lies

 

the truth never lasts.

and when it appears,

you have to be patient,

especially if you are truthful,

and hope that your voice

doesn’t get lost in the egos.

so much greed, bigotry, hate and violence

ready for surveillance, robots, ICBMs, drones

on a planet overrun by billions of mouths

led by a huge narcissistic penis.

 

nothing about the Earth’s

ancient lost raped splendor

has prepared anyone who is honest,

or anyone who wants to be good,

or any of the doomed manifold creatures

for this.
