Civilised Lives

This is your torn wet-dream
Your forced dry heave
Disgusting and you like it
Wasted awake from
Crucial darkness inside
The mind of another
Fucker claiming sainthood.

Ever considered murder?
The Hell you haven't
And you've committed it, too;
We just don't call it that
So we feel alright about liking it
And the many comforts
Our bloody hands provide.

Who ever heard
Of an innocent man?
Only those wealthy enough
To ignore their own guilt
And deny the atrocities
Performed in their names
So that they may lead
So called
Civilised lives.

This is our war-torn wet dream
Moistened with the blood of others
The juice of life that
has ever spilt so that
The civilised, so to speak,
Could live in peace.
Cultures torn to pieces
So the civilised could live in peace
Take it for granted,
Get fat, and watch TV.

Our wealth is not our own:
Our wealth is what we stole
From better cultures
With blood less cold.
Our frigid hearts
Sterile as doctor's stainless
Remain unmoved as we steal
The lives and lands of others
For the sake of conveniences
That quickly enslave us.

Yet who now objects?
The poet with the privilege
Of higher education-
Few else-
And even then hardly.

Yet who now protests?
The men and women of
The First Nations waiting
Are now gradually changing,
Taking wage jobs
Forgetting the old ways
And giving in to the new God,
The one who will be the end of us all,
The one who allows us to believe
In our civilised lies.

Look at how GREEN I am! Jeez, if only I'd known I could get this green just by setting up a blog I might not have done my degree in Environmental Science.

Go green! Yay me! Yay you!

READ THE FOLLOWING IN A WHISPER, LIKE IN A REALLY COOL MOVIE ABOUT LIBERAL CONSPIRACIES: (I hear that every time you even say "green" it saves the environment a little bit. If you yell it you... oh boy... if you get five people to yell "GREEN!" at exactly the same time, global warming actually stops for three minutes. Now, if those same five people get five friends to yell "GREEN!" at the same time while carpooling in GREEN! hybrid cars, well then the whole world will turn into Heaven... a place where capitalism actually functions.)

[I just realised I forgot to mention one of the scariest words to arise here: cynical.]
