Beneath Heaven

Beneath heaven there is a human race

Racing all around the track:
back to the beginning
forward to the end
and record it all so you can
fast forward,
dniwer,
and proceed with all the caution,
barelling through everything
because you are in a big rush
to ruin the future.

Drop a spoon on the floor
and then commit mass genocide.

Drop a pill in your mouth for instant suicide.

Drop the bomb on a friend;
drop an atom bomb on an enemy
(or the first person to sneeze wrong).

Half naked ankle bracelet intelligence
oozing from every mid-rif.
Ice cream for the children;
spoil them like the old milk in the refridgerator,
because you didn't get what you wanted.

When your kids have ruined the world
will you be happy?

You'll be dead.

That and
the voices in your head make you crazy.

Sue McDonalds: they made you lazy.

Obese, obdurate exuberance
wearing a tank-top:
more jiggle than a jello-o boat
less brain than a dinosaur
and, most importantly,
popular as Robert Kennedy.

Yeah, progress.

We're making plenty;
Progression to where?

There's a question for Bill O'reilly.
