We never quit pouring sentimental dreams
into robotized hearts
that cease to bleed.
Millions depart this interior cold
and look out to our world
of formless souls.
Struck dumb by countless fairy tales
that convince us that
we will not fail
But all the while
we know the truth
that bad things can happen
to those who are good.
So as we sit down
to watch the six 'o' clock news
and critique foreign wars and the starving children of two
be wise, and recall lives are governed by laws
that do not exist
At all.
