Titanic, the Torn

Titanic, the Torn

These Rose hands clinging to the door

As James Cameron and his generation called it

Jack down there freezing to death in all his poker won glory

Pocket-young undone and penniless as a popsicle

The ship is asunder torn slit gut on the side

No planning for icebergs, even though Capin’ knew they be existin’

Sail, sail and the sea will prevail, these socially secure dinghies

Rowed by invisible subsurface hands down on this ocean floor

Of progeny and progeny of progeny

We can not afford to procreate into existence

Taxation without representation

Financed and leveraged on the backs of the unborn

Nation of trillions to American flags waving patriotic Steven Sondheim melodies

Jets and Sharks going at it and all these X’s left in the dark

Anchor weight ankle shackles of debt to finance a degree

For a career that ain’t got’s no more room sir on the deck

Of this ship that has long since sailed, speared out on the coast

And Gov Retirement plans still kickin’ back watching the whales

Bob up and down spitting water in laugh riot fountains

Sucking up air sperm, blue and orca, killing milk-fat tit migrations in a mammal Diaspora

Oh look at George and Nancy out there yachting around

Spearing like a Japanese flesh fetish vessel dodging Green Peace

Gorge the buffet and leave no sinew for the tubeworms

Eat all you can before the sun sets on your retire at 55 sojourn

Bailout Skank of America and Shitty Bank,

Finance construction projects for houses in a nation under foreclosure

Who’s going to save you?  Just work until we’re dead?

Gen X is scurrying with the crustaceans, crabbing up the juice

Lied through cookie-cutter religions and the abuse of “You can be anything you want son” Give me tough truth, not a snickers bar, shove that chocolate back

In the shadow boxer arrogance of your gene pool productions

None of us are getting to Neverland on such faulty assumptions

Gover-greed, can we be in agreement, if you stab us there will be no Umpa-Loompas left to finance the deferment of this loan you promised yourself, to retire with health care in this social apocalypse?

Want a bailout?

Forgive college debts on a lottery basis, per capita across all fifty states

In productive majors pertinent to society, not affirmative action mandates just apply and spin the roulette wheel of escaping over-educated and underemployed,  Attack the no-longer deferred educational debt hell, galvanize the base before we all descend into oblivion. 

This knowledge in our heads, you sold our future to finance and put the money in the dealers hands, it’s wasting away at Best Buy and Home Depot, building nothing but a cycle of poverty for us to overturn your row boats.

We’ll all be drowning in this goldfish pond of an ocean.  Our ammonia will kill you, because you are not so use to our explosions of waste breaking the air.  Creeping Death revelation that you can not blindly spend was is not there.
