Flesh
We shall consume the world
from grass to core
from tree to where sun kisses sky
it will all be ours
the rain slipping down, slicing through the blades of grass
the water rising organizing into white mountains so vast
Those trees are no longer for wood,
those animals are no longer to be stared at,
No matter how small we are in the universe
we are big on this speck in the darkness
We will take all that we can have and more
Be it meaningless papers to fill our pocket
Or words to fill our emptiness
We want more
We want more
You have talent?
Let’s see the second time you perform is as interesting as the first.
It could be worse
you can have none and live on earth like a sore
We want more
We want more
Well money, that’s nice,
but are you pretty? Oh well.
Your personality may be swell
But we’ll only smile when you’re draped in that white veil.
We want more
We want more
Make our screens brighter
make the connection faster
The real world is too much of a bore
Keep us entertained
not the bad stuff
just the same
Stuff hope down our throat and tell us it’s a miracle.
Hide our problems and make us feel well
it’s guaranteed to sell
We want more
We want more
We are the animals that convinced themselves they are not.
We are predators and prey to each other,
what claws and teeth can do we have words and gunpowder
The wars that brought people to graves brought money to pockets
The words that made people into slaves convinced another they were great
Feed us those words, money, and power,
leave behind those who coware
We want more
We want more
Give us shit painted gold
Give us good covered in mold.
We’ll consume it more than food.
We’ll take the ground until it is no longer beneath us
We want more
We want more
We will take until we finally finish robbing ourselves.
