Can you hide it safely for our baby
Regardless of its distasteful effects
Yesterday the interest was maybe
Pending our gut-felt and heartless respects
Tinkering with its dingy novelty
Only exacerbates the global dream
Canning lowly general poverty
Undermining the really nasty scheme
Rising Sun and Moon within the cold skull
Rendering every thought around funding
Each wish and desire erasing a null
Nursing the art of the deal while trumping
Cancel it since it is not kryptonite
Yield your mind to a better appetite

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
