Valium dreams

The Lord is my shepherd

I shall not want

Yet I do 

I want and I want

In the pant and sweat

I desire everything I see

Upon the TV, 

The radio 

And the marketing I see

I want and I want

Everything I see 

Everything I taste

In this bulimic haste 

In this glutinous greed 

Upon which this soul is; 

As I open the fridge

Looking, 

Seeking

Searching for the truth

If only Shakespeare had written the truth

Instead, Macbeth

And all the lies, the 

Deceptions, 

I shall not want, I shall not want

I shall not want 

But I do

In the sunrise drinking this cocktail

In the sunset of Valium dreams 

In the morning going to bed

As the evening wakes instead 

To the insomnia and hyperthermia 

In the shiver of this cold night 

I do, begging across the floor

Asking God for more

I shall not want, 

No I shall not want 

Damn; I shall not

Beg for more

Yet I do....

The Lord is my Shepherd

I shall not want.
