Breathing Pestilence |
| Looking in from the outside |
| Each city pukes its wounded forth |
| A world that time forgot |
| Along 95 from south to north |
| From gray to greener lands |
| To exburb, suburb, in-between |
| Some choke and some breathe |
| A fact of life in this plutocracy |
| As the best of the worst plan our lives |
| A mass murder of the spirit cuts the vine bearing wisdom’s fruit |
| Brother, wave your trust in faith goodbye |
| When it’s man against man, the culture consecrates the code of spite |
| So this is the ideal system — |
| Millions shunned in urban tombs |
| Easy for the rich to suffer |
| As they smile, wave, and lock their doors |
| Driving away from the failures |
| So trivial and so normalized |
| Back to their pristine pastures |
| To forward and secure their perfect lives |
| This nation blood-bound with its ties |
| Gives not a fuck for its children or the toils of their wasted labor |
| Flood pouring gates open wide |
| Upon this fiction of a state, and the excess it expels and justifies |
| Ghosts in concrete veils, haunt Katrina’s winds |
| Gasp, as charcoal air, fills lungs as black as tar |
| And they drown… |
