we have been sowing
and living in
such garbage garbage
for so long
and subject for so long
to dodgy cartoons
bad sound
and jerky animation
characters clearly insane
voiced by vaguely familiar voices
to say nothing of the iffy coloration
all relieved only by commercial breaks
gouging us
on many levels
the world’s too sad to be reported
dreaming wiggling children
smile from far away
from far too far away
but not too far away
we watched tv
and went to sleep
others loaded amnesiac bullets
for sleepless bastards
who died allover the world for our precious freedoms
but you know
they were very low-utility freedoms
result in so much pain?
empires die like suns
trying to vomit I see only stars
