1.
Father 02:31
Only 20 sets of eyes No one else waiting to say goodbye Only 20 pairs of ears Stories of the great times no one-hears Three generations Sat and calmly stared As no procession came For something we can’t prepare Each photograph is torture Each anecdote is poison Each memory is blurred Each error is absolved Be Good... All alone, irreplaceable Laying prone, irreplaceable
2.
Pride 02:11
A look of disgust as you wave in the wind No pride, no feeling, retired again Tattered drenched, torn and burnt Stiff or stretched, butchered rags The motion of a morning prayer Forced to recite ad nauseam Stand and chant, hat in hand Who do you put your trust into This is all mine but I don’t want it Expired undesired Foist that rag, hoist this rag
3.
Honesty 02:03
Scandalous treacherous Lecherous pressure us It’s worse than you think...I have proof It’s worse than it seems, what else is new What is a lie when everything is false? What about me? What about them? What about you, what about you? Doesn’t matter anyway. Play dead stay dead Doesn’t matter anyway Just nod your head Believe everything, question nothing Spin it, wrap it, gilded in layers of shine
4.
Friend 02:22
The once endearing figurehead A slow repulsion living dead Mouth stays shut fingers in motion Reversable magic potion Stained in the name of “always right” “Can’t let it go,” “won’t lose a fight” Idiot, moronic drone Make your noise, until crushed by stones This is the last time The book is closed Never a pleasure Always the clone Stained in the name of “always right” “Can’t let it go,” “won’t lose a fight” Crushed by stone
5.
Child 02:44
How can I help? Possessed When will it end? Commence Everything is fine. Pretend The top of my lungs. Amend Watching you fall down a well Descent through screams of agony Return to Earth, shattered Draining my empathy Drenched and drained, breathe in breathe out Erupt collapse implosion commotion But sweetness overwhelms Love fills the atmosphere Takes the air out of the sky Smiles that can stop time Breath escapes tears dried, to no avail
6.
Nightmare 02:17
Whispers and whimpers, dreading a furtive sound The floor creaks, hinges whine, waiting to drown Lie in wait, Manipulate. Lie in wait, Denigrate. Lie in wait, Satiate. Lie in wait, Obliterate Save me. Where is my savior? Please be my. Whispers and whimpers, dreading a furtive sound The floor creaks, hinges whine, waiting to drown Shame fills the darkness, curtains stay closed. No revelations, under your nose.
7.
Waste 02:17
What do I tell the faces-staring back at me? Spin it like a carousel. Each horse rocks up and down. Travel in a circle, with no destination Pockets and plates stuffed, self aggrandized. In the name of all that’s sacred. Followers mesmerized. Vultures. Wild Dogs. Scavengers. Carrion. Punish the thugs. Shoot the messenger. Protect no one but the gluttons. I know what to tell the faces but it’s not important.
8.
Age 02:38
Families grow smaller as urns overflow, rooms close in as we apply each coat, watching gardens shrivel up and weeds grow, hair grays/skin sags, backs begin to bow Sand, sifts just, like ashes Straining hourglasses Huddled, shaking masses Time, does nothing, but passes Pile upon pile upon pile Pessimism The only things that never get old are expectations dashed, hope recedes, and change ends, reform dies, progress stalls and we lie We lie... Under piles of ash and acid rain, and rubble and refuse and detritus and feces and poison and filth
