They happened all at once…
All these thoughts
Cop car, yoga conversation, coffee, sunshine
Nothing.
Bikers (The non-leather-wearing kind). Joggers. Expensively "dressed down" people discussing grad school plans after a yoga excursion while sipping coffee and on their phones.
Holy shit that car's nice.
My first thought
Holy fuck this street's safe.
My second thought…
Holy shit that car's nice
Holy fuck this street's safe
Damn the sun sure shines bright
Off that cop car's blue frames
Sip it all from coffee houses
"dressed down" in expensive blouses
Let's all go to grad school
Let's all do yoga at the pool
Watch that phone all by itself
In a world so god damn filled with wealth
I already know nobody wants it
They already have one that’s the fun bit
It doesn't feel like there's a fault
No indoctrination to this cult
But you can be sure I see a fissure
What the fuck is water? Is the admission
Wow.
The oasis isn't selfish for not sharing the water with the desert. Just lucky and made more beautiful by the contrast. Right?
But we aren't the oasis and elsewhere is not a desert and EVEN if it was, to paraphrase a powerful speaker, we don't know what the fuck water is anyways…
So holy shit this street's nice
God damn am I safe
Turn up the street lights
Jesus Christ my skin's white
We are anointed and above
Is it just all luck or God's love?
Is it just culture better made?
Is it from the sinner or the saved?
But at what point do we drown
To race ahead for NO crown
All to say we are the best
Left to question why are we depressed
I guess if you run fast enough
You don't see behind you, just the dust
You won't really mind a little blood
And probably can't hear what's all the fuss
So let's build up our damn walls
Segregate the neighborhoods and all
Let wealth be the number one thing
Let fear and comfort reign supreme
Now I'm a hypocrite at best
Fed entirely by things I protest
Only now learning what much of the world shows
Ever held to account for what we know
Or what we don't. Just like how the ignorant sinner goes to hell. I always hated that part, but our ignorance creates hell on earth. So maybe it's more justified than I ever could have imagined.
