The End(s)
A Poem by The River Man
The truth reappears despite your futile fears The one that has been gone for years No longer immune And now with two moons One of ice and one of stone One turns away while the other breaks your bones You wear a smile with a backdrop of deceit Rigging an election and cleaning up the streets Eastward eyes regressing the expansion Brick by brick they tear down your mansion Depleting rations demanded satisfaction Rendering time a mere abstraction Sequential ignorance quenching and lynching The innocent who weren't very convincing That volcano tore down your back door Showed you the floor With neat parallel lines Immune to time And subliminal chimes So retreat your anti-hero And flood the field with zeros And maybe a one Just for fun Now, left with no room to roam And no direction home With the stars alone Which ones bend and which ones ignite tonight? Your only friends Through a fish-eyed lens The end(s)
