Hypocritical Boxcars of Evil

Hypocritical boxcars of evil

have slipped the tracks.

Get away if you can

take your sons and daughters

take your husbands and wives

take your dogs and cats

Get away if you can

To a place beyond price tags

beyond subterfuge & unfeelingness

while there's still time

I see a Monster on the track

I see the technologically

in a rats nest of artificial knots

all designed to keep them separate

while they think they're connecting

I see them rushing I hear them honking

Where do they think they're going anyway

Always in a fierce hurry to where?

More waiting for the next big thing?

For the next flash of false redemption

that they just have to have?

Someone to buy off

something to buy into?

More

going places

and not being there​?

What kind of a world is this

anyway

you can have it

but you can't
