Boomtime

why is it
we live in rows of boxes
made of fucked up hopes
dreams streamed via
monitors
screened
protected

as you prance and preen
sit in neon bars blinking
observe the rich in compounds
as a fractured sub species
dying for future cars & trips to mars
intelligent deathplanes
patrol skies of impunity
the government is whacking ya
while you judge the x factor
from the comfort of the dead zone
one bed sofa rent terror dread

its the prison you live in because you are free
while offenders feed the corporate blender
working in cells as prisoners with jobs
they used to call it slavery
but PR makes it more cash
stashed into holding accounts
making magic bullets for the babies
they got game
gone apeshit crazy
shoot 'em up shoot em down
i said boomtimes coming
but its already here
been here for years
if you're the chosen few
if your bloodworks alright

i'm getting ready for boomtime
the final horizon of mushrooms
that ends us all
thank fucking christ
its all so last century
and the one before that
get ready for boomtime
for we'll be all be richer
melting
laying in the sun
dripping down
trickling into
hot yellow soil
