The Whimper 03:07
flesh to bone to ash to dust till nothings left of us but memories - but not of how much wealth we had procured, our faded flags or gods and countries the quakes left fissures on her skin and still we bore into her fault lines - the tidal waves left little more than the remains of america's new coastline a desert bloomed in the midwest and wealthy business men bought and sold the western virginian islands for time share properties hotels and shopping malls sprung up like rotten teeth and when the heat came like some roving band of thieves everyone enjoyed the longer summers but me so as the demon winds whipped across her battered face - nobody saw their sun tans turned in- to radiation sickness our jellied eyes had long before befallen the sharpened silver tongues of the - advertisers and the reaper instructed the companies to prey on our vanity a cancer seeped out from our hearts and greed and violence took over all the love that we once shared for mother earth and one another we did it to ourselves but still we felt the sting like we were victims of a cold, evil machine with seven tentacles and polished, mirrored face, with a mouth like seven million goddamn diesel trains and ears like two cave-ins and a scorpions tail and a compulsion to destroy itself

it never gets better, trust me setting yourself up to fail is no way to accomplish anything where is your desire to push on understand that this ignorance you face day to day isn't going anywhere soon there will always be that asshole screaming 'faggot' always a hateful thought in minds of lesser men but there is so much love left in this world be that love, not another selfish statistic posted on some black and white sob story pamphlet you and yours deserve better believe me when i say that so many of us know your pain and have experienced first hand the cruelty of others and so we're left to stand up to their intolerance will you stand with us or allow yourself to drown under these crashing waves of malignancy don't allow them inside never give them the satisfaction of knowing they ever got to you your resolve is stronger than their words your cause greater than their fists never give in, you are not alone nowhere near it...

well they come and pull me from my house and they drag my body through the streets and the sun’s so hot i think i’ll catch fire and burn up in the summer air so moist and sweet and the people all come out to cheer rocks in the pathway break my skin and there’s honeysuckle on the faint breeze today with every breath I’m drawing in i want to cry out but i don’t scream and i don’t shout and i feel so proud to be alive and i feel so proud when the reckoning arrives srowds grow denser by the second as we near the center of the town and they dig a trench right in the main square right there and they pick me up and throw me down and i start laughing like a child and i mark their faces one by one transfiguration's gonna come for me at last and i will burn hotter than the sun i waited so long and now i taste jasmine on my tongue and i feel so proud to be alive and i feel so proud when the reckoning arrives
