Everyone's Always Barefoot ...

I’m watching cartoons at three am
Robots rule the earth
Terrorizing civilians
Bulldozing progress like
The last thousand years
Was just a wank

Ape-men run screaming
Under continuous variances
Of death rays, missile arrays, cat hands
And god knows what

But did you notice
Everyone’s always barefoot
And wearing apocalypse garb
And hungry

The psychological consciousness
Of all of us
Already was dialed in
Already in understanding of
The future in front of us

The mechanism of modern man
The artistic bible of our fate
Represented at
24 frames per second





From: During the Apocalypse (2007)

So many hide their "reality" in the darkness of a theater. Existing in a John Wayne movie is what we have in the White House right now.

Nice observation, capturing what some think will be, but will it, I wonder. The opportunities to change are always all around us, we just need to see them...

Be safe,
Karen
