Dinosaurs Roar
Dinosaurs will roar as their world they know is no more.
I.
Dinosaurs will roar.
There’s not much
you can do.
They’ll bemoan
the long-lost days
when they roamed the Earth
at will.
They’ll scream
about the new world coming
no matter how
good it gets.
II.
Dinosaurs will roar
as their penultimate moment
comes to a close.
They fear
the world coming.
They fear
the world going
that they once knew.
III.
Roar they will.
Thrash they will
at the demons
in their minds.
For the world’s changing
And they know
this new world is not for them.
IV.
And that roar
is only a wail
of lament.
For their time is up.
and change
They can’t concede.
Their time is up.

Let's Don't Do This
"I just can't do this anymore..." "Do what?" What can't you do? Put gas in your own car? I swear to God you make me take care of everything, don't you? You know I'm on my way to work right now but that never stops you from bothering me, does it?"
