Paul Weller & God …

When the Style Council
become the soundtrack
for Starbucks consumers
at six am
I want out …

When the only thing to watch
On every goddamned channel
Is Anna Nicole Smith
Sean Hannity and MASH
I want out …

When all the overhead Muzak
Is raping Stevie Winwood
Aping The Police
Van Morrison or
Bruce Hornsby and the Range
I want out …

When the country is struggling
To fit neatly and quietly
Into the status quo
For selfish reasons of their own
I want out …

When the only person I care about
Is myself and yet I don't
Have a clue as to
Who I am
I want out …

When the snow caps are finished
The polar bears are a myth and dusted
When the Dolphins declare:
So long, and thanks for all the fish
I'll be out.








from: During the Apocalypse (2007)

So long and thanks for all the fish... One of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite movies. Great work again.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
