god help me
bear witness to the stunningly thoughtless waste of our ad-induced
lifestyle
bear witness to all that which is so rapidly disappearing for the
sake of quick profits
god help me
ignore the things I waste time hating that do not really matter
ignore our incessant destruction of this blue-green miracle world
god help me
accept the fact that sociopathic control freaks are always in charge
accept the vast environmental rape which proceeds all around us
god help me
overlook the mass extinction we further with every shopping day
overlook the millions of starving, sick and thirsty who surround me
god help me
detail the holocaust we perpetrate on our cows, pigs and chickens
detail the absurdity of remotely-controlled, pointless mass
consumption
god help me
hold on to this notion that our sheer numbers are our biggest concern
hold on to this vision that a better world might yet come to pass
god help me
forget the things in my past that time simply cannot not take away
forget this nightmare of a relentlessly approaching, dystopian future
god help me
save even some faint memories of all that's being so quickly
destroyed
save my simple soul from the myriad of irreconcilable media visions
god help me
open my eyes and not be frightened into blindness by what I see
open my mind beyond mass entertainment and organized religion
god help me
lose the anger that still overwhelms me way too quickly and far too
often
lose the greed fanned by those who package our lives for quick
profits
god help me
awaken for whatever few remaining cool sweet dawns I am granted
awaken the dreamer that may still be slumbering somewhere within me
god help me
search out those good people whom I need badly to love and to respect
search out things that matter somewhere beyond the endless
infomercials
god help me
hear the pre-dawn birds teaching me how to sort out my priorities
hear the trees whispering softly above me with a gentle breeze
god help me
feel calm despite the fright and confusion that fills me once again
feel secure despite the eternal formlessness that mindlessly awaits
me
