Trying not to die
heart of our universe
dwells in how we try
waiting for the end to come
do anything but cry
start by asking why
living must produce cash
to hell with birds and bees
numerical dreams
secret schemes
killing off the other—
the last religious war
where I shall be
the only winner
my personal bank
the everlasting tank
gold plated forever
until there is nothing left
to see it.
Capital has no ego
no conscience
no sleepless nights
no children
or teachers.
The perfect bully
without conscience
or nervous connections
no skin in the game
it’s designed to play
me
no embryos no womb
greed without conscience
monarch without throne
war without peace
life without purpose
no death or rebirth
Oh heart of hope
your hope is crowned
love make you stronger yet
oh eyebrows wise beloved
beget be known be seen
be yet.
It’s not today that breaks
your heart. Your fears and tears
worry of years to come
tomorrow a game
the shame the blame
a dying flame
of polly ticks and brittle bricks.
and on
and on
and on
and on.
Heart of Hope, your hope is crowned
Love make you stronger yet!
On wise brows, beloved, renowned
Once more your strength is set
Such equal laws, by Freedom gained
Have ruled us well and long;
By Freedom gained, by Truth maintained
Your conscience shall be strong
Our fame is ancient as the days
As Ocean large and wide:
A pride that dares, and heeds not praise
A stoic silent pride
Not that false pride that dreams content
With what our past has won;
The blood a hero heart has spent
Still nerves a heroes mind
Land of hope not Glory
Children of the Free
How
can
we
hear you?
