To the hospital
where judgment is cynical
your condition is critical
but
here fill out this form
and tell us where you were born
It’s an emergency
only when your income
has a constant frequency
So
while you wait and bleed
you have literature to read
Do you need surgery?
Is your family in need?
They say
take all these brochures
it’s your fault you never learn
you better work then you earn
and then you get insured
I saw a woman die
then she came back to life
they said she had to pay
she said,
I just closed my eyes-
I just closed my eyes
now you’re charging me a price
to travel through the mind
to travel to the place where
my pain has no face.
Don’t be ashamed
if with the words you don’t relate
just keep your mind alive
and your people elevate
performance every day
yet
they say it’s not a play
when you create your own act
then the stage they try to change
and-yes
I do see better days
I do see better ways
children playing in the streets
throwing rocks in the pond
chasing birds in the park
running to greet the dark………
one day we’ll change the time
one day you’ll feel my mind
one day flying pigs
will be falling from the sky
