Poem\Lyric from 2009

Cleaning up an old hard drive I found this bit o magic. I'm pretty sure I wrote it.. :-)


The Wet Nurse Lament

So high, my estimations
Of what you taught me
in the soft suicide
of a public education

Man is just a monkey
the state is the only god
right is wrong
and filled my mind
with tuneless songs

Did you paint me from your past,
On the canvas of our future
dancing like a gorilla to the
song of crashing glass?

Another trash can through a window
My brothers fist swings a club
What’s one more monkey melon
Split open,
And stinking in the sun.

Was it really your intent
To complete what you started
To bring it all down man
Was that all that was truly meant?

That I am a non-absolute


Man is just a monkey
the state is the only god
right is wrong
you filled my mind
with tuneless songs

“It doesn’t matter
who started it”
Kills the spirit
when its not you
who started it

That rebellion was an end
That mine was yours
From my ability
To your needs


Hello, are you there?
Did you paint me in our past,
dancing like a gorilla to the
song of crashing glass?
