Poem: Drowning

" Drowning "

Everyone needs a little warmth.

A little touch of the heart.

To keep this world from tearing us apart.

We try to swim against the tide.

Stroking harder to remain topside.

Until a rip pulls you under and you hope that you will survive.

To feel the sun in day's light.

Living in the nineties.

Drowning in technology.

Our name and identity is just a number on some government computer file.

We try to escape in our music or our interests.

But we really escape or hide and nothing lasts long.

In the computer chip millennium.

Corporations rule the world.

Government and politicians are just paid company fools.

Compassion has no place you see.

Especially when your living on and under the poverty line.

Life has lost its value, did it ever have it, in our civilised money motivated societies.

Living in the nineties.

Drowning in toxicity.

Through industrial anarchy, killing the planet and the air we all must breathe.

Natural wonders and beauty culled to advance our self-inflicted realities.

Lying in a plastic coffin.

With all the victims of this mass homicide.

not is wrong with us, can't we see.

Looks like we are blind.

Well on to the step, self-inflicted genocide.
