The world is beautiful, Have you ever
thought about it, the world that is, is it not beautiful in places. We call
those places national parks, so many miles of ocean across all frontiers,
touching each other in special places the way the sun used to be, and still is
in those extra special spaces, now we get burned frozen or flooded instead,
except of course for those special places, and the bank manager we wish him
dead, the women and their faces we can’t stop looking, the hours spent grooming
their façade well look at TV no frowns allowed can’t you tell, a little perfume
on the hips lipstick on the lips, as mothers seek safe refuge to build a nest
as well, then an heirloom arrives the result of love so they said, children of
course keep on watching and waiting, it’s a show they've already heard, Disney shows
written by old pro’s words they use children in the viewfinder, they used to
call it inspiration, today they ration the dead, literally and bury them live
on TV, I won the lottery the dredge is no more, no smart opinions to get high
on, pure doesn't give you headaches, it kills you instead, don’t tell Santa he
said.
But it’s a pity really, having tossed so
much of our future away, the consequence of pure greed that the poorest will
pay for instead, they've cut back the bird crumbs this week I heard, poor crow,
shot at three times dived bombed by a sparrow hawk, a busted wing he hung on,
two miles up the road and he’d be fed, earthquake on the TV, the world is
falling apart, live on TV of course, you've guessed it CNN they are the first
to call to help, world latches on cameras roll on carelessly, footage is worth
more when you’re dead, no point saving the sick across the world, cant get them
together like a Spielberg movie, we’ll rely on old footage. Isn't the world
beautiful he said, the luck of the Irish they always said it was worth waiting
for, amen.
