Is any reality

Is any reality

Worth believing

When change is inevitable

The heart is fragile

Some people forget

To pay it some mind

Wake up one morning

To find it broken

Some have it stolen

There is a black market in

Body parts.

I knew a guy

Who worked in a body shop

I wonder if he knew

All things were never equal

What would Whitman think

About America

First and last

Bertrand Russell

Knew a thing or two

About humanity

I wonder if he knew

How illogical it was.

He led the first

March for peace

Which seemed like a

Good idea

To get behind

But nobody listens

To good sense.

It’s all white noise now

If it doesn’t fit

The narrative

Then it doesn’t exist

Do you see the existential

Threat behind that

Statement.

Perhaps I will float

Upstream

I always did like

To simplify the problem.

It’s better for my heart

If I can regulate

My response to

Global conflict

With a pinch of salt.
