City of Whores

On a walk
In the city of whores
I went by
the supermarked
I saw the despair and burning
money of the shadow people

Two women
Greeted one another
Said a few words
And went on
Their fake smiles
Stretched like tight masks
That don’t fit

And by their side
Their smothered children
With chainsaw elbows
And tongues of acid

At the ivory tower
Of education
I saw
The back clappers
Back stabbers
stood in line
Unprofessional
Shouted with glee
“The best place in the world to be”

I shook my head
From the unifying lie

So far from it
No room for concern
And no room for gifted children
But there were no mistakes
There were only lies
They could hide behind as
All the oceans fell down

Their failed truth was all they saw
And they screamed at me
Though I didn’t know why

Anonymous accusations filled the air
But they kept up their appearances
And their distorted smiles

Suddenly they stopped
Asking each other
Are we normal?
Are we like everybody else?

How you blindfold the truth
And manipulate
With your
false authority

by the sea
I saw Ministries and majesties
Raising statues as the schools declined

Decency was lost
And profit won
Breeding birth and
Retirement homes
Lay scattered

Forget democracy
we want moments and monuments of the future
Just a cruel lie that makes the present bitter

You prostitute democracy
In your greed for power

The things we do for love
The things you do for lust

Suffocate all living
Kill the will to be

..and all there’s left
is hate
