Morning rituals, coffee will drip, staring out the window with the porcelain to my lips: empty high rise over tents in the street, they’re discreetly clearing out them down and out as we speak
Flip on the television for a quick peek, at the discontented gunman’s body count of the week: Condolences for the slaying, you’ve got us thinking and praying, there’s a euphemistic rhetoric continually playing, singing:
Bring it all back home, where the buffalo once did roam, uncertain we stand, we’re an American band, y’all hear me singing in a serious tone: I see the strong man’s lies, and tides on the rise in the rear view mirror, I’m steering down the country road, watching my dreams disappear over a sunken horizon, where the final bison’s blood has been siphoned
See the feline so severely obese, keep on feeding him treats, to watch his hunger increase, we sold the straps upon the dirty boots on your feet, to help to finance the feast of an insatiable beast
The hidden overlords inherit the meek, who’ll compete for a seat, to gather crumbs at their feet, when all the food has gotten stale, like angry torch-bearing males, I saw them marching down the street and chanting “victory, hail!”, singing:
Bring it all back home, where the buffalo once did roam, uncertain we fall, an all-for-one-none-for-all, y’all hear me singing in a serious tone: I see the strong man’s lies, and tides on the rise in the rear view mirror, I’m steering down the country road, watching my dreams disappear over a sunken horizon where the final bison’s blood has been siphoned
