corporate calamity
never impeded
by reality shows
muscular hi jinx flexing

minority has little to do
with race anymore,
the royalty minority
now they're bad-ass

have orgiastic bonfires
burning goddess fossil bloods
like the blackness of dead souls,
the desperation of summer simmers

lights the night skyline, hell
we all knew in the apses
of our heart's minds
the dinosaurs were going extinct

For The Second Time !
thankfully we can now
get an empty barrel for a pittance
and they make terrific war drums

stretch a little human skin over the top
and beat the tympani of man
til your muscles wither away,
like your brain did

many years before
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

Wow, this is magnificent.

"stretch a little human skin over the top
and beat the tympani of man
til your muscles wither away,

and

"minority has little to do
with race anymore,
the royalty minority
now they're bad-ass

have orgiastic bonfires
burning goddess fossil bloods"

Awesome writing..

I love the ending of this---so sad that it is so true.
