Kit Kelen #618 - what a world we lived into

618

what a world we lived into

greed and power

and someone said

young firm flesh

doesn’t matter what fantasy brought us

it’s every kind of weather at once

and there were pictures to prove

I had my back into all of this then

of course you can blame me

I have to be one of the ones

we’ve lived till now

and what a world

towers, palaces of cash

everyone everywhere armed to the teeth

always a quid in that

you won’t see the brink

just standing there

burn more

build more

foul the big nest

it crept up snakily

crashed through the wall

of where we were

that’s the now

someone coughed

someone else farted

heads rolled all the way to here

it’s every terror reigns from the sky

not here though

what we call terror must be aimed at us

we’re the only ones alive

the other ones are pictures

children, all innocence

bombed into the past

we see light from an ancient star

it’s the world goes off like a two-bob watch

we could be proverbial some day

doubt it ...

the ugly-minded rule like emperors

make instincts base to sell

what a world!

trust me

I wouldn’t lie

could kindness count?

could ingenuity?

war anywhere but where we are

that’s the white man’s way

and how did we get here?

we were sleeping till now

they’ll never take offence at that

but see where the fire got away?

wherever we’ve come from can’t matter now

but it’s who are

will be

all of the secrets till now vanished

it’s all of us off of the deep end now

not until this last sun rose

could we tune in

know what we were up for

soon we’ll be swimming in it

it was all a big secret till now

it’s like hide n seek

and here we come

ready or not

on your marks

once someone thought

to salute the sun

and I still do today
