Everyone Gets It



n a puff of smoke

like a private joke

with a universal theme

Time is passing like a dream,

hollow voices hollow thrones

empty choices follow drones

something's tapping at the door

tap tap tapping, nevermore

substance lacking, lies deceit

the monumental sour conceit

oil and money the rhetoric of War

pardon stooges lackeys nevermore,

face it face your mug is phoney

in a race with dog and pony

the futile carrot before the pointless stick

sounds like a parrot speech made to turn the trick

burn the city burn the world

babylon was just a dream

fading in a puff of smoke

everyone gets the joke...
