Everything was Alive and Dying (2016 political edit) Janet Kuypers written 1995, edited for 7/2/16 show 6/23/16 and 6/24/16 I know I don’t do much, I don’t do enough but I’ll take what I can get when I have these bad dreams of our country going down the tubes and all I can dream about is the reality of my hands tied behnid my back and thre’s nothing I can do and after every night I wake up in a sweat * now that Britian is leaving the E.U. — so tell me, Prime Minister David Cameron... so tell me, Jeb exclamation point Bush so tell me, Ted Cuban Canadian Cruz so tell me, Entertainer In Chief Donald Trump so tell me, crooked Hillary Clinton so tell me, Barack Hussein Obama if you lived through my dreams, if you saw things the way I do — would you be in a sweat, too? You know my motives aren’t selfless I know that these things are worthwhile in my life: I’d like to find a cure to these man-made diseases before I die of them I mean, I’m not just a vegetarian because I think it’s wrong to kill an animal unless I have to I also know the excess protein pulls the calcium away from my bones and gives me osteoporosis and the excess fat gives me heart attacks and I also know that we could be feeding seventeen times more people with the same resources used for meat production You know, I know you’re looking at me and calling me an extremist but I’m sitting here, looking around me looking at the destruction caused by family values and thinking the right, moral, non-violent decisions are also those extreme ones * everything is linked here we destroy our animals we destroy our plants we destroy our earth we’re even destroying our air we wreak havoc on the soil, on the atmosphere we dump our wastes into our lakes we pump aerosol cans and exhaust pipes and you tell me I’m extreme and I’m beginning to think that we just keep doing it because we don’t know how to stop and deep inside we feel the pain of all that we’ve killed and we try to control it by popping a chemical-filled pain-killer we live through the guilt by taking caffeine, nicotine, morphine and we keep ourselves thin with saccharin and we keep ourselves sane with our alcohol poisoning we do anything to ourselves to make us think we have the power... in the wild you have no power over anyone else now that we’re civilized we create our own wild maybe when we have all this power the only choice we have is to destroy ourselves and so we do |
