The Tears of Mother Hubbard and Ms Muffet

The Tears of Mother Hubbard and Ms Muffet

Deep pockets make life shallow
Β 
My dream catcher sways
out front like a carrot
Β 
Did you know..
Β 
there's a rare species of spider
that lives off pollen?
Β 
Nevermind.
Β 
Earth's heart once full now hollow,
Β 
grey industrial tar clogs my side
of the stargate
Β 
... like the memory of honey
Β 
Yeaterday's dreams failed to consult tomorrow and...
Β 
one eyed machines, blinkless
stare souless,
Β 
hanging on a catholic web
Β 
whether the net is up or down
Β 
They've acquired a taste
for human blood;
Β 
what we've sown they swallow
Β 
Utopian ideals cannot enter ignorance
Β 
Life cannot grow from toxic mud
Β 
Clouds won't burst
when they're being cyphoned
Β 
a billion childrens' eyes well up with sorrow
Β 
yet not enough to wash this all away
Β 
Fish need to breathe but "gills are obsolete" and
Β 
so are lungs ...
according to the 'elected' tongues:
Β 
pide pipers that keep us
dancing to their mental
Β 
So much waste of the time we borrow
Β 
On what will our grandkids feed?
Β 
Whose dreams are these?
Β 
I dread what is to follow
Β
