Today was a splendid day
Filled with happiness and gumball drops
Lollipops and puppydogs and butterflys
and all those things that make little kids fly
Today was another day
12 more inches, another footnote in the book
People pushed and people grumbled
And they trampled on each other
Today was sparkling fresh and crystal blue sky
White fluffy clouds, an after noon shower and a rainbow
A gentle breeze, and the trees all dancing in along with it
The sounds of the birds song as their accompaniment
Today people saw fight to yell at one another
Plunging figurative knives into the backs of those they said they held dear
Today the world looked away as millions lay starving, thirsty and dying
And we paid lots of money to bomb the fuck out of people we don’t even know
Today was just another day, chainsaws buzzing through the happy parade
Rats gnawing at the stilts of the clowns walking down the streets
Kids eating pink cotton candy filled with hidden maggots and flys within
And yes Dorothy, this ain’t Kansas anymore
And Tomorrow will be another today when time sees fit to drop us in it
And we will scurry about, some with our heads in the clouds
Others with their gaze straight forward, striving for that goal, whatever it is they seek
And some will trod along, eyes downwards, and sullen
Tommorow, I will walk, in my ethereal and incorporeal in my way
Stubbornly refusing to accept to see the revolving cacophony of chaos
Everybody striving in all directions, nobody seeing what they cannot bear to accept
Humanity breeding both savagry and beauty, strife and mercy, profitting from it’s own demise
