America The Beautiful

we're born animals
-born to die-
after being sucked into the sweet nature of get or buy
and the mark up of this make up
on this materialistic human being
to make up a super duper fake human
well, thats what i've seen

cos we have more than we need to survive
and some
and some shit we dont need but we buy
Cos with out it, natures animals are still alive
but we insist on
bomb shelter basements full of canned goods and life's guarentee
we spend our whole lives preparing
based on what lies let us
hear
or see

and we've evolved to this pathetic greasy system of desires and needs
amounting to the same thing
"America the beautiful" has faded away
and to take its place
on every tree transformed to a magazine cover
"America the beautiful people"
has taken over
but from further away, the signs much clearer
it really reads
"America the fake, the greedy, the murderer
of people, poems, dreams
freedom, and equality"
we live dirty old lives
...it seems

cos its not mother nature sticking needles in their faces
it wasnt mother nature granting the hype-hypnotised wish
for a different nose
bigger tits
yes, we've evolve to this

and now beauty is not beauty unless its airbrushed or fake
love is not love unless its expensive or on reality show TV
the world is nothing but a big ball
and the international news is about another award to another rich celebrity
or simply about their fake lives
or another war
for more
materialistic things
Yes we're gettin some more oil by sacraficing the lives of human beings
how precious
every economy is based on the big buy and sell
but i keep dropping my pennies into my wishing well
wishing, well, mostly for change.
but, the next thing ya know, the only evidence left of those green rolling hills, those purple mountains majesties, the redwood forests summit of trees, the grand canyon, the falls- will be post cards, and pictures on the labels of spring water bottles.
see, were all just animals
slowly commiting mass genocide of each other and our homes
but the world is so beautiful
hard to believe, of all things, people
could ruin it all,
alone...

(unfinished - someday I'll brainstorm an end to this ..any suggestions?)
